Well honestly I don't really know the difference, I just called it fat to call it that I guess haha, but from what I see, it doesn't look too different from when I saw her 6 months ago.

So I figured to rotate my tank today to check if my vinny burrowed by the glass on the side. Low and behold she did! I was probably a bit too late to see her molt, however I am glad to announce that she is alive & well. I cannot tell how big she got though, all I could see was her fat abdomen.

I hope so man, I have not been having luck with my vinny keeping attempts so hopefully it goes a lot better for you.

Thank you, I appreciate that and the response.

So I posted on here a while back about how my vinny burrowed, and sealed herself up. I'm assuming the thread was closed or something but it seems to have disappeared. Anyways like the title states, should I be concerned? It's now November, soon to be December, and she still has not come forth...

She still hasn't surfaced.

Okay thanks for that, it kind of made me a bit relaxed as she still hasn't come out yet. If I knew that they burrowed this much I think I would have just gotten a red knee tarantula instead... whole reason I avoid the burrowing turantulas.. I believe she burrowed back in july or late june

Yeah she def did the bubble thing too, but I guess she got annoyed by me being curious, so she covered the glass with dirt.

So my vinny dug a huge burrow by the side of the glass where I could observe her digging. However one day I noticed that she had sealed half of it off, and kept going until there was no trace of the tunnel ever being there. I'm assuming she did this herself since it's known that they do this...

It's coco coir, I'm planning on mixing with baked sand to help burrowing structure. It's at least 6" deep, which allows for plenty burrowing space.

So when I had my plastic pot tray in the enclosure to provide a nice little hiding spot for my vinny, she would hide all day only coming out at night when I turned all lights off. After a while I took it out to see how she would react not having her hiding spot. She would then crawl up this...

Hmm, not much?........much? Just a coincidence that you responded to a thread about a beetle. Didn't realize it until yesterday.

SORRY FOR NECRO but.. Dude, where in the hell in AZ do you live because in the past 20 years I have lived here, I have NEVER encountered these... Just bought my second one from Custom Creatures (accidentally squished my first one, which I preferred a lot more because my new girl is super...

hmm coincidental much? ;)

Well I recently caught a couple and observed them in a preserved ecosystem within a jar (I tend to label them jarrarium's). Some didn't make it, some did, but I observed one feasting on a juvenile cricket that I acquired at Petco; they usually are labelled as small crickets. It ended up passing...

I've seen jumping spiders take down baby crix with ease, so try those. Sprigs are too small, but they will benefit the soil.

err.. I'd just look up beetle care guides and go off on them. Probably feed it crix or worms.

It's a possibility. One of my wild caught jumpers surrounded itself in a bubble of web, and proceeded to molt inside it. After molting it stayed within the web bubble for a couple of days (I kept it in a glass jar so the humidity probably messed with the drying process). However, before that it...
