all doing well i guess,... eating like monsters
only 1 is never on top since a week or 2 :?
(i've given them 25cm substrate orso and they all have digged very nice tunnels/caves underground.)
any idea what she's up to ?

Steven,
Glad to hear yours are all doing great! Sounds like perfect setups too, they really love to dig. One of my females that I have mated dug a huge chamber at the end of her burow and sealed herself up in it. If it is young it may just be getting ready to molt ( I thought you had some babies but I could be wrong ). If it is one of your adult females it could be getting ready to drop an egg sac. Most are wild caught and the female could have mated before you got her. Sometimes they will also do the same and drop infertile sacs. Sometimes they just seal themselves off for a couple months for no reason. I know they have been eating well, they roons after all, I would not be worried.

Hey Mike
yep you're right, i got 2 little ones (4cm) and 2 adult/subadult (10cm)
it's 1 of the big ones who has digged herself in
(but all 4 of mine are CB,... so i'm still searching for some more specimen as i assume i've got 2 adult females,... the little ones still have a long way to go )

Yow Dan,... i guess you know how hard it is to find vinegaroons in EuropeNewGriot said:Uuh..I like vinegaroons...they are looking great!
Once I kept an adult Telyphonus caudatus, a Malaysian Vinegaroon.
If there are some babies soon...let me know...I`m interested!
Greetings
Dan
really hope to find a male soon,...

Hey Steven,
I thought you had little ones. Your female is probably just taking a rest, but I have had unmated females drop infertile sacs before. Hope you can find a male soon, we have tons of them over here. Here is a not so great picture of the underside of one of my preserved males.
Thanks Dan!
