"GrandSpider" ... that cracked me up!
Thank you. Baby is very sweet, even though she is more skittish and anxious. I would like to be able to interact with her a bit more, but I know the stress that causes her, so I just talk to her and have music playing for her, which she seems to enjoy.

How long did you have Mata Hari? How big did she get? She probably did enjoy the heat from your body; I'm pretty sure that's why Baby comes over to show me her belly when I sit by her cage.
