sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but i am going to hawaii next month for vacation and was also wondering if i'd find any tarantulas there. i guess the answer is a resounding no, given the volcanic origin of the islands? though it seems that i may be able to locate some centipedes?

@eproxymous The enclosure I have has top ventilation as well as a ring of holes on the side, though I don't think that cross ventilation is absolutely necessary for this species as they do like it fairly moist. As long as there is ample air movement so that there is no mold developing inside...

@eproxymous I give her lots of substrate to burrow, she has about 4-5 inches of sub and she dug to the bottom within a couple days of being rehoused. I keep the sub about three quarters moist and one quarter dry. I give her a water dish and a bark to burrow under and that's pretty much it! She...
Thanks! I actually found another reference pointing to this same species when i was googling the topic, and they made mention of it being extinct. The introduction of mongooses along with construction were the reasons they mentioned. Apparently mongooses took a larger toll than expected and are...

Thank you for all the advice everyone. I erred on the side of caution and decided to remove it. As a few of few you suggested I tried to stick the tongs all the way through to snatch it up. I managed to get to it, albeit in the process i scared the spider down to the bottom of the burrow, right...
I have an M robustum that took a super down it's burrow and left it at the bottom but never ate it. I can see it because the bottom of the burrow is on the side of the enclosure so I get a little window. After a week of not eating it, the worm started to mold and so I had to feed her again, this...

despite all the negative comments about Rob, i learned a whole lot by watching his videos when i first started in the hobby. granted some of the info and practices are misleading to beginners, the bulk of it was informative and i rather enjoyed watching all his vids - it was obvious he was very...
