Hi, I'm fairly new to keeping T's, only kept for 6 months or so.
Currently have, Chilobrachys fimbriatus, Cyriopagopus sp hati hati, Monocentropus balfouri, Tapinauchenius gigas,
Pterinochilus murinus
and the Orphnaecus.
The blue Panay is around 6 months old, 3" inches of there abouts. So far I've been keeping it in a terrestrial set up.
But I keep reading conflicting stuff everywhere. Should I have them set up in an enclosure where it can burrow but also climb if needs be? Something like 6 inch deep sub with a piece of cork bark spanning the entire height of the enclosure?
AND
I also had a P.irminia - Which died, i clearly did something wrong. But what should i have done instead of what i did..
The spider was down in it's burrow - i couldn't see it at all. Tried with a torch etc, but was too far down. Went to feed it.
Turns out the spider was in moult or soon to moult, as the next day i saw the feeder still roaming about. So i took it out - still hadn't seen the spider for another week, break it open and the spider was there with a busted abdomen fresh out of moult.
Did i leave the feeder in too long?
Should i be killing the feeder, if the spider doesn't come up and take it within a minute or two?
