Hi,

Thanks guys. Actually, I watched him search for her for hours, and he finally found her burrow and went inside, they faced each other and I waited and waited, finally I left the room to go eat, came back awhile later, and they were in this position, and I was just in time

Of course ill post updates

I read you keep your P Murinus(RCF) ina burrowing setup.Did you know that this colour form is actually suppose to be arboreal! ;-)

nice pic.. i also use roachs for my p murinus and some avicularias. they usually go running tho the glass.. into to web and BINGO! poor stupid roach, now it's just another food
just this point i like in the roachs, not even all of my T's stay in the top of the terrarium eheheh

actually its a burrow/arboreal setup, you can see the side of the tank that has the limbs. Though they've preferred burrowing so far, she's always down in the burrow.

My murinus (also red colour form) is a burrower too. It has an underground burrow and a part above ground.

Congrats, I will be experiencing the same(hopefully) in a few days when my female comes in from Scott's. I think she got lost in shipping though, as she was suppose to be here yesterday at 11am. Here it is a day later at 4pm and no P murinus.......Maybe tomorrow. Again CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Nice pic by the way, was it a big struggle or just a little one?

 

[Zorack]

just a little one, soon as the spider had hold of it, it was toast, it took a while for it to die cos of its size

nice example o male p.murinus.....i think he loved it....what a reward for that struggel

As far as I know P. murinus is a burrower. Colour forms are no new spiders at all, else they would get their own name. ;-) So yes, every P. murinus behaves the same way.
They do choose other places to hide if there is no burrow available though, and there are reports of P. murinus staying away from the ground at all.
But after all, they are a burrowing species.
