Funny you should ask. Tex never spun his "sperm web" and I don't know why. Perhaps he was preoccupied with traveling. Perhaps he sniffed something in the air ... but lately all he has wanted to do is keep himself exposed and pace the floor. He allowed the crickets to take over his "crib" while he sometimes perched helplessly on the roof. Anyway, after watching him do this for days I finally strapped a miniature Camelbak to his carapace and attached a very small bag of crickets to help him through his journey. Gently placed him in a large olive jar and escorted him to his origin, Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area Paint Ball Field, and released him at the same 55 gallon drum where I found him last June. At first he was a little confused and tryed to scramble out the bottom of the jar ... then realizing his mistake he slowly turned 180 degrees and made a slow exit. As he entered a shady spot for relief from the noon sun on those 8 eyes, he looked up ... smiled at me ... and winked with 4 of them. I reached down, patted him on the bare rump, gently stroked the tibial hook on his right front leg, and said, "Go get 'em, Tex!", and bid him a bon voyage. We both turned our backs and walked away. He is back where he belongs after giving me a real education. #8104022
