Pterinopelma sazimai hoarding boluses

[mctenor]

Hi everyone, just a quick question. Ever since her last molt my sazimai has started hoarding her boluses in her burrow and I can't get to them. Is this normal? She didn't use to do this. I'm posting because it's starting to smell and I'm debating taking her out so I can shine a flashlight down there and try to get the boluses out with tongs. Does that sound feasable without destroying the burrow?

Smell— remove

If it smells that bad there's probably one or more dead feeder insects in there. Good idea to clean it out.
