What Boger said. Keeping snakes has gotten me long accustomed to pets that you rarely see do much of, well anything really. As I've alluded to in another thread though, that suites me just fine. I too don't like interacting with others most of the time unless food is involved.

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
het for nothing but groovy

She got a free meal today. Got 3 crickets at the store and the girl at the checkout asked if that was all I was getting, and after I said yes she just gave me the bag back to go ahead and leave.
She's ravenous too. Grabbed all 3 one by one in short order. From my own observations and speaking with other T keepers she's underweight so I'm not surprised she's been quick on the uptake. With how long she was at that store they probably stopped feeding her at all...

She's sounding like a "happy camper" to me. You're probably right that she wasn't fed much there (at the store).

I just checked at random and she was at the entrance holding a load of dirt from clearing out her lair more. Why does she look so adorable?!

Those are some awesome tunnels! Not sure about adding dirt- I'd only do it gradually, just in case? And she has very nice legs anyway...(cool markings)

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!
