Finally came out!!

[Trenth_171]

After about a month of getting my B. Smithi. He has started to finally come out of his cave! He was about 2 inches when I got him but looks a little bigger now. It is nice to see that he is alive. I guess in this hobby you must have patience! Do you think it is possible that he could have molted while being burrowed in the substrate. I don't want to dig anything looking to see so I don't bother him but I was just curious.

Very possible yes, look for the shed exoskeleton to know for sure

I went ahead and checked and I found my first molt!!!!!! :razz: I ended up burrying the T when I went investigating since he was in his burrough but I'm sure he will find his way out no problem. I just wish I knew when exactly this had happened. I am just glad it did!!!!!! I am now excited for the next one!

What do you mean by buried? you should try to get it out, so it doesnt get too stressed

I went ahead and dug the spider out. I am sure he is pretty stressed now so I think I am going to let him be for awhile. Thanks for the info!!!!
