You need to give that T A LOT more substrate and make it damp. They are a OW fossorial species. Also a T can damage its fangs by biting those metal forceps.

this was the day we got him. he has been rehoused in a smaller terrarium with much more substrate. we didn't expect him to be so small (or c. lividum). the company sent us the wrong T! luckily, the company fixed the problem and we had a more appropriate home available for him to live in. also, we have bamboo forceps now. :)

Good deal!

I just had same issue. Potentially have a C. Lividus and thought i was getting a N. Incei...big difference. I’m ok with it.

She wasn’t shipped in that container was she? Because that would be an awful and potentially deadly packing job.

C. Lividus?? You must love this species! Congrats on the new addition.
haha, yep! we figured if we were going to have the male, we might as well have a female to add to our collection. These are the other members of the squad: received_946665955692009.jpeg IMG_20190428_113522388_2.jpg IMG_20190507_201254622.jpg IMG_20190404_205409127.jpg received_802213246813941.jpeg

Unfortunately, yes. this is exactly how she came!! :rage:

She's already trying to fight. Putting her in her new home will be interesting haha. Meet Kitana <3 View attachment 307975 View attachment 307976
She seems happy to be home she ate and drank after her awful journey with FedEx
