They're so small that it's hard to really get any kind of footage of them. The contrast of them against my computer screen was about the best I could do. The first video is Mr. Chang Foo going for Rick's signature, the other is Earl sitting on my finger, eating a fruit fly.

Please please please please turn down your speakers, as I was stupidly unaware that as I was filming, the camera was practically against my speakers (which was on one of my pandora stations) So it's RATHER LOUD. Just a warning.

Also, I was noticing one my nymphs was.. I suppose the word to use is "stiff". He was the last to molt (which was a few days ago) and when I opened his cage to offer a fruit fly, his arms were straight ahead of him. While I read on another part of this forum that they do this to perhaps look like a stick for defense, I noticed that as he moved, his arms stayed straight out in front of him. It took a few minutes before they snapped back in the normal "praying" stance. Is this normal?
