did yours burrow? or does it just hang around on the top?This is my A. hentzi setup. I have him in a enclosure made by exo-terra. Its about the size of a 5 gallon aquarium. Keep him on about 4 inches of dry coco with a hide and water dish. Notice the water dish is full of coco?
give it some time. might take a couple/few weeks even. but aphonopelmas in nature are found in burrows for the most part.It burrowed initially, so I pulled it out for a minute to deepen the sub, put him back in, and it hasn't burrowed again yet.
I just got my A. hentzi on sunday, and she's in a 5.5 gallon tank, with 4 inches of substrate (although I'm thinking of adding more), a water dish, a half-log hide, and a small jade plant. So far, she's spent more time on the walls and ceiling than on the floor. I haven't seen her using her hide yet, but did notice a bit of webbing on the floor in her hide. I figure she'll settle in soon, and then I can start making changes if need-be.

haha, is this phil jones?!?! :clap::? :clap:
Mine has never burrowed. I've had him about a year. He matured last month. He will take to his hide sometimes though.did yours burrow? or does it just hang around on the top?
Why on Earth do you have a 3" T. in a 10 gallon tank?I have my a. moderatum in a 10 gallon tank with about 6 in of sphagnum peat and she burrows like crazy. She also has grown incredibly slowly. I've had her for about 5 years and she's grown from 1" to 3".
do you remember phil jones? he was the one whose whole entire post consisted of smileys...Phil Jones? Why don't I get that... ?
