I see it as our pets setting a good example for us- it feels really good to hang out with animals- whether dogs or snakes or anything else you like- & just "be" in the moment, whether to relax or play, or share meals together- whatever. Our world is plenty complex & stressful- so taking the time to slow down & enjoy friends (human OR animal) is really beneficial & needed.

lmao v true but still! a lot better than some fossorial species! i’ve gone full *years* without even *seeing* my S. crassipes and only knew they were alive because prey/water would disappear or they would occasionally chuck an old molt out of their tunnel systems
Re: Entering new territory. My first tarantula.
I've only had one tunnel collapse and that was in 100% coco coir and he didn't seem to be reinforcing with webbing as he went. Seemannis are known for their love of digging, now that she's off to the races she might do a full lap!
