How often do you see her out and about? Or did you have to dig her up for this photo?

I love the look of this species, but would rather not have a pet hole.

Yes for the photo she was dug up, but they are usually hanging out on top of the dirt in plain view. The slightest disturbance though, and they run down their burrow.

Yup nice specimen. I have a lot of love for gigas. Colouration looks about right for premoult. Will be nice to see pics when it is fresh.
