I'm wanting to get a new T, and i'm looking for something that is a real builder. Something that will move the substrate around, or have a burrow with several enterances, or etc.
haha, my C. crawshayi REALLY completely redecorated her home... still a sling, but the potting soil looks nothing like when i first put her in her new cage. and she's done that with 2 big cages now. little spidey, moves ALL of the soil. all of it.I'm wanting to get a new T, and i'm looking for something that is a real builder.

I'n not very good with te latin names yet, what is the common name for T. pruriensMy earth movers would be the A. hentzi, B. vagans, P. cancerides and my T. pruriens.
hmmm, i would have to agree with them also. (them being B. vagans, and P. cancerides) my B. vagans moved quite a bit of soil. built herself a sorta-den like spot deep in the soil, with a mound on top!!My earth movers would be the A. hentzi, B. vagans, P. cancerides and my T. pruriens.
i've seen "peruvian green velvet" or "peruvian striped"I'n not very good with te latin names yet, what is the common name for T. pruriens
my little Grammostola aureostriata ( chaco golden stripe/knee ) is always moving it's stuff around .
backed completely.Mine does too ! Plus they get big, are docile, and really cheap ! Always a good purchase if you ask me !
I second this! They are beautiful metallic olive green, and make amazing web/soil structures! Mine has seven different burrows in it's tiny hex tank. Plus, they are so small when they mature that you will have room for more later!If you want something that moves dirt, burrows, and has lots of tunnels then I would suggest H. incei. They are a dwarf species and can be kind of fast so you have to take care in transfers and maintenance.
I dig my incei too. He/she hasn't done much earth moving after digging the initial burrow but is webbing all over everything. "kind of fast"? HA! mine could run laps around an OBT with three cricket in it's palps!If you want something that moves dirt, burrows, and has lots of tunnels then I would suggest H. incei.

Count me in on that as well, my sling does the same thing. no matter how hard I try to pack a little is moved already within a few minutes...my little Grammostola aureostriata ( chaco golden stripe/knee ) is always moving it's stuff around .
