Brochypelma hamorii sealed itself in burrow

[Buttered Red]

I’ve never had a spider do this but I did my research and I know they do this often just wondering if there’s anything I should be doing to her enclosure or do I just enjoy my box of dirt for now

Enjoy your box of dirt for now.

What did your research tell you? If you have done research you’d know the answer to your Q.

Make sure your box of dirt has a filled water bowl

I kept water dishes full and occasionally water the front of the burrow but the second part you might not have to do.

Not much you can do except wait it out. If it`s sealed itself in a burrow, it may be in premolt and prefers to do that where it feels secure rather than out in the open. If you`re lucky, it may excavate by the edge of the glass/plastic/plexiglass so you can see its activities to some point.

Edit : As others have pointed out, absolutely keep a water dish full in case it comes out for a drink during the night.

Enjoy your box of dirt, and settle in for a long wait. Mine burrowed for nearly 8 months last year and was about the same size as yours looks to be when she did it, having just come into her colouration like that. Timelines vary, of course, but lots of people have had similar experiences. As said, keep the water dish full. I also continued to soak a corner every now and then and the water would travel along the bottom to her burrow a bit (as opposed to watering the burrow directly). You can try leaving prekilled prey outside periodically if you get worried, but in my experience, if they're sealed off like that, they're not interested, and this species can go such a long time without food and be just fine.
