My 2 A. geniculata's arrived this morning. I got them from The Spider Shop here in the UK.
I ordered slings (1cm). I enjoy watching them grow from babies. My son was very interested in T's so I got him one too (although it remains in my care) so I figured it would be a great first T.
I unpacked them. They were packed in vials in slightly damp kitchen towel. Box was well packaged. I filed the vials with soil almost to the top leaving a space and put them in their homes. I used organic plant soil that loose enough to allow them to burrow.
The one spider was instantly active. He started digging and ended up digging to the bottom of the vial. He's made this cool tunnel system that's visible. Really cool to see.
The other spider is just sitting on the substrate. He hasn't dug anything.
They're in a room that has a temperature of 27c. They're currently in one of the shelves on my desk. It's nice and dark with a bit of light, and warm.
The dormant spider moves. He's pretty agile. Except he's not really doing much.
Just looking for a bit of advice on why this could be?
