great looking cobalt blue do you give it enough substrate to burrow or just keep it in a short kritter keeper and let it web

She has a burrow. She comes out at night and hunts. That picture was taken when I first got her and she had not yet found her pre-started burrow. Here is her enclosure, she has two openings to her burrow: one under the wood, one in the corner.

Not terribly often. Maybe once a week I'll catch her out if I am up late at night (3 or 4am).

They are obligate burrowers. As I understand it, they are stressed terribly by not having a burrow.

Katy's T's

These T's are amazing! I have a mere eleven in my collection, but it's growing.
Do you have any G. pulchra for sale? I've been trying to find one of these little gems for a while and have had no luck.

This weekend was insane for the molts in my house...had like 19 molts, though most were small slings. Here are the highlights:

P. antinous 6" female


B. albopilosum 5" female


A. versicolor, finally hit the 1" mark, yay!

B. klaasi 2" male (sexed with this molt)

P. irminia 3" male - not technically MINE, but lives in my house. ;)

P. striata 6" female

B. auratum 1" female (sexed with this molt!)

Aphonopelma spp. "Carlsbad Green" supposedly, but she's not looking much like one after this molt. heh I swear she was "green" before.

Thank you for the compliment - I will be sure to tell her that she makes people envious. ;)
