M Robustum owners.. some advise please

[kido]

i need some advise on how to make mine more visible? i've see a lot of pics of owners who place their's in a large wide container.. it seems that their T is always out in the open? mine is a pet hole so i would like some advise on what you guys did to make them come out more?

That's a T for ya. If you REALLY wanted to see her then you will have to cut back on the substrate so that she cannot make a deep burrow. Other than that I would say enjoy the pet hole. I have noticed that juveniles dig a lot more and adults tend to get lazy and once you dig them up so many times they just web up a corner and chill there. At least that is what happened with my own, as well as a few others. I usually just face the pet hole knowing they are happy though. Put a hide-away on two to three inches of substrate and you should be able to see her or at least remove the hideaway for a few minutes when the family comes over.

Try to make a premade burrow in the corner of the tank. I can see my robustum all the time because of that.

My female is only visible at night-time. During the day she is under her hide. If I want to see her during the day...I just take her out her enclosure and hold her.

thanks guys.. am planning to do just that, make a premade burrow at one of the corners when i move it to a bigger enclosure.. hopefully it will take to that and i'll be able to see it more ..
