Are you searching for care for slings or juvies and adults?

Juvies adults. But my post was more ment to apologize for asking for info which was already here
But using the search function on here only brought up a lot of classifieds threads. I didn't want to use googke, afraid there would be caresheets with wrong nfo. But google directed me to threads with all the info i needed. Really silly that Google can find info on here that the search function on here can't find...

This is why I only use the search function to find gallery pictures. whenever searching for care I just type in the genus and species and arachnoboards at the end (exampe: "C. marshalli arachnoboards") and it brings up links. Easier than trying to figure out the search function IMO

Also good luck with your new E. murinus! you will not be disappointed.

I always use Google to search the boards. Here's a tip for you: type your search terms in Google and add "site:arachnoboards.com" to the end of the search inquiry (minus the quotation marks, of course). This way you'll only receive relevant results from AB.

S(he) will be arriving tomorrow. Super excited! A little nervous as well, but I think I can manage. Got a nice big enclosure for it, 15/20cm deep substrate, big waterdish and starter burrow, as well as some plant/leaf clutter for it to use building its burrow.

Good set up :-s
They love to web, btw, so the enclosure sooner or later will looks exquisite

Now check this out... how much stupid someone could be but at least we can see pretty well the beauty of Lady Skeletron

I've come across this video as well, and was furious with the owner. Why would you torment an animal like this...throughout the video I was cheering the spider, hoping she would get one good bite...but unfortunately she didn't.
Bummer.

I'm hoping it will make a beautiful cloudy enclosure of it! That's why i left some space between the substrate level and the lid.

Phone was slower than I was, double post, sorry!

S/he arrived this afternoon! A bit smaller than I expected, I think it is 5cm DLS, but already sporting her epaulets, thouh its colours are not as dark yet.
I had to set its enclosure up smaller, lol. S/he would gotten lost in the first one.
But this raises a question. I've read they are arboreal as slings, but from what size can they be setup like a burrower? Should I've set it as arboreal at this size? I really hope I don't. It was being extremely stubborn, and prone to dashing. Good thing for me it raced down its pre made burrow.
Should I just see how it goes?

When I bought mine (sexed female, via exuvia Sherlock ID) was not even 6 cm, I housed her as burrower, with a lot of inches of moist substrate, cork bark for hide, fake leaves nearby... just like your set up. Once she settled (took a while, btw) she started to burrow, and every night, from that day to today, she loves to sit at the entrance of the burrow like a King on his throne, sometimes when she's lazy she leaves out only those Skeletron legs

I say no, I wouldn't house those as arboreals... besides, even a lot of (real) arboreal T's as slings loves to burrow as you know.

Thank you friend for the reassurance. I'll just leave it be to settle in then

I got mine as a sling, and it burrowed to the bottom of the deli cup almost immediately.

Thank you Storm for this jewel of information! I already saw your beauty on YouTube!
Mine has taken to its hide after spending a day and a half huddled up in a corner.
