Congratulations on your new friend.
Next time fill the vial no more than half the way.If it starts digging and expanding its burrow will pile up the substrate right to the top as it has little room to dump the excess dirt.You can carefully scoop it out with a small spoon if that happens tho.
Regards Konstantin

It is high on one side and slopes down lower on the other with a pre started burrow under the Corkbark 20210414_161625.jpg 20210414_161701.jpg

Suggest you get all the Brachypelma. I have multiples of them all and they are one of my favourite species.

I even have a "Brachy Bedroom" for some of my collection and cos I am a little OCD, they are in alpha order from left to right anti clockwise.
The only exception is my beautiful Genie (Acanthoscurria geniculata in the top middle tank)

You have to have to get them all ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I even measured the distance for the retaining clips on the LED lights in the garage for all the other spiders so that the gaps were identical so guess I am a bit of perfectionist also. As you could see from that bedroom set up, every tank identical with hides either on the LHS or RHS so draws the eyes to the middle ha ha ๐Ÿ˜‚

They are rather gorgeous how can you not have at least 1 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ and that sounds like something I would do measuring every light to the same place has to be done for the perfect viewing haha

Yeah I know.......it just happened that way ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If only you werenโ€™t in Uk Iโ€™d pick up some of your pure breed B. baumgarteni
Yes that is a shame.
Hoping for good things from all my Brachypelma (extract from a pivot table in Excel) below so you could have had many options.
If I had to pick one Brachypelma species, and this could be a little controversial, it would be B klassi.
