It's been quite some time since I have posted on here. But I do have an important question.
I just purchased a Liphistius malayanus 2-3" along with a Cyriopagopus sp. "Singapore Blue," 1" and a Grammostola aureostriata .5". Now all of them have eaten already which is great. The Chaco Aureo has already began digging here and there, and the Cyrio has burrowed a bit and made a webbing tunnel up above it...my main concern is the Liphistius I bought. The Liphistius ate, and was hanging out and what not but then went back to being in almost a death curl position after the food was devoured. I came into the room this morning to check on him and he looked like he was dead, so I gently moved him with my tongs and he rolled on his back. So I left him alone watching him for like 3 minutes no movement...then he flipped over and scurried into the corner which sank down a little bit. I just have him in a basic sized critter keeper and eco earth substrate just like all my T's and I didnt put a hideout in there because I figured he would burrow and make his own hideout. Am I missing something here? Im worried he was dying upon arrival of shipment, but Im keeping an eye on him.
