    Has anyone ever thought about making a T enclosure similar to an ant farm setup? Obviously appropriately wode enough for the T though. That would be really cool to see their burrows from a cross sectional view.

    I kinda have that going on with this one.

    It's tall and skinny and the burrow goes down the side of the glass. But they web their burrow so its still hard to see.

    Looking good! I'll have to try and get some pics of what i mentioned tmrw.

    I get what you're saying, like with that H. lividium setup. Seems like a waste of space to have that huge tank and only have the spider use a little part of it lol. I feel like obligate burrowers are kinda like bps and can do better in a smaller space in their hide/burrow 90% of the time.

    I think I may upgrade my meridionalis' enclosure tmrw. I just feel the one i have him in is a bit too small and he'd be happier with more room to make a bigger burrow. Same with my vagans. And i'm definitely gunna upgrade my OBT's once it sheds, which i think is coming soon. :gj:

    Are those tiger rumps fairly active or are they like the sun tigers always hiding? I like the looks of them but kinda feel like it may be a waste to get some if I never see them.

    My Tiger rumps are always out! They dig a little but mine don't burrow.

    Mike that spider I have in that taller setup moves around that whole cage. I never see it but she poos away from the burrow. Tall thin caging with lots of substrate.

    A ton of a Ts are endangered in the wild. Wont be imported anymore.
    Some of them can produce 100s of babies in one sac. That's a ton of hybrids then can get in the wrong hands really quick. Muddy up what's in the hobby and that's it.

    Well guys, todays a real sad day. I came home tonite to feed my Ts as usual, and found Aragog(G.rosea) dead. :( i dont know what couldve happened. She molted less than two weeks ago, and i just fed her on Monday...everything was fine, and she gobbled up her crickets then. Ive had her for about 4 years, and she,was about 1 year when i got her. A far cry from the 20+ years they can live. Im going to bury her tomorrow. :(
