Grammostola aureostriata sling...

[ZOKU]

Thought I'd post up this pic of one of my G. aureostriata slings... I have him in a 40-dram vial... but thought it was interesting what he's done with his home. Not really a burrow of sorts... but you can see how it has built up the substrate in the middle... almost like a "peak". Then you can see how it dips down on either side... I was feeding them today and thought I'd catch a photo of what he's done to the place.

Haha, mine did pretty much the same thing. Does yours use it as a hide/usual sitting place? I wouldn't think they'd feel as secure without a "real" burrow, and a roof over their heads, but it seems to like its little trench just fine.

They're such cute little bulldozers.

My Chaco is 4" and has done the exact same thing, building a hill of substrate in the middle. It's not as high as it used to be because she's packed it down so much. She totally covered it in a carpet of web as well. I have know idea what she's planning

I would pull that cricket out of there...it may molt anyday from the looks of it.

Nice T and pic!

Believe it or not... he ate that cricket. He's not fat... he's just big boned.
