Hello All,
Attached are a couple pictures of my newly acquired Gorgyrella sp. black trapdoor spider. After a while of interest and research, I picked em up from a local show. Sold in a small vial, I rehomed the spider and it is almost 3 days rehomed. It has not yet tunneled, and until today has remained barely active. This morning I found it wandering about it's enclosure and hope to find it burrowed into the 10' of substrate it has available. Until then, the spider is being left entirely alone. Here I'll post pics, videos, and observations in my experience with trapdoor spiders and, with hope, some pictures and videos from trapdoors and purse-webs in the wild this coming spring. I encourage you all to post your own observations and experiences.
Hope you enjoy.
