he said he never emotionally cheats on his girlfriend. but that seems pretty emotional to me. idk.

and it's the most flustering that he took me out on a real, legitimate date.

HOWEVER. i shouldn't like him, even if i do. even if i trust him with all parts of me - my emotions, my body, everything.

i really, really like him. we are just so compatible. and i know he's not perfect, but i have spent more than enough time with him at work to know how he is. and it's really hard to admit to myself that i might actually have real feelings for him.

@Lufi:
Choose a deck if you want: Thoth
Choose a spread: Mirror Spread
What is your question?: Forgive me if this is too vague, but how does he really feel about me?
Any other details?: I'll pay 1.5k volts

@Bioshock: what kind of setup does your pet store have? at the ones here, you can buy pre-bagged ones that have like a dozen+ in them but you can also ask a worker to pull as many as you need out of the bins and they just charge you like 10c per cricket. i can't think of anything that would have very little waste - they sell way too many at a time of everything else. even a little cup of mealworms will still have like 10 in it.

@Bioshock: not sure about the crickets, i don't feed those to my ts (not for any specific reason, i just don't like them). a sling over an inch should be able to handle a small mealworm, but if that fails, pet stores usually sell tubes of flightless fruit flies right by the cricket bin and the mealworms. you can definitely experiment with this though.
i would say the defensiveness is one challenge, the other challenge is that they are truly a pet hole. they'll burrow and you'll see them like once a month lol.
so when feeding, you'll want to feed them one cricket at a time, don't just throw a bunch in there. the crickets can bother the spider (and even bite them) especially if she isn't hungry and doesn't want to fight back. they're a lot less stressed when they're alone. if she doesn't eat, take the cricket out after an hour or so. but yes it's totally normal for them to not eat for a long time and then suddenly start eating again, especially grammostolas.
@Eruca: LOL honestly the household spiders kind of bother me too. i don't mind the ones that will just web up a corner and stay there until they die (i had one in the corner above my bed for the longest time) but the nomad spiders that will not stay still bother me.
the one day i was laying in bed under a sheet and felt a tickle on my leg. i thought it was just the string of my shorts sliding down my leg so i didn't think anything of it, until i got up later and there was a dead spider under me...
@athabm: it always morphs over time, too!

@boyrrito: you were warned!
@Bioshock: in general, when you're buying a rare(r) spider, you're buying a baby - one that was bred in captivity and is being raised in captivity. there are tons of breeders in the community. jamie's tarantulas and kenthebugguy are two breeders i can think of and have personally purchased from with good results. jamie actually has some captive-bred c. lividus up right now! and they're at a size where they're not as prone to randomly dying.
he has lived this long because i follow a very old feeding philosophy, i.e. they'll grow at the rate you feed them. for males, it's worse to feed them frequently, because they'll grow quickly. once they sexually mature, males die shortly after. i did kind of gamble with this guideline when i first started out with tarantulas because i wasn't sure if what i was being told was correct, but after being in the hobby this long and seeing the method work, i always advise people to feed very infrequently once your spider is no longer a juvenile.
