Holy Smokes! I looked in on my new Black Trap Door this morning, expecting to see nothing but dirt. I saw him sitting right on top of the dirt & I thought for sure he was dead. Genius that I am, I decided to open the container & check. I stuck the tips of my 12" tweezers in there & WOW! A tremendous threat posture! He attacked my tweezers so fast, it scared the crap out of me. The guy at the pet store told me he would probably have already made a new burrow by morning. How long does it take them to do it? Man, I have a healthy respect for this little guy now. That lid is staying on unless I'm feeding him!

yes!
but never dig them out! this couses a lot of stress to the spider!
if you are lucky, he'll dig at the edge of the container, this way you will be able to see him! they are great fun!

OOPS!

Well, the guy at the petstore dug him out to show me I wasn't paying $25 for a bunch of dirt! Will he recover?
