C cyaneus, L sazimai and B horrida progress. The cyaneus is a slow grower but he/she is getting there.

The B horrida is starting to rise in the ranks. Definitely underrated.


I had over 10 pretzel jars stored in the garage but my mom decided to throw them out with 50-100 sling containers. 🫙🥲 it was so hard to remove the labels …

Thanks! Whenever a reclusive T makes a surprise appearance it's samurai time. Tip toeing around your T room to make the moment last lol

The pentaloris had other ideas. The toes belong to an O schioedei that's food shy lol

Here's my P pennellhewlettorum (what a mouthful) One of my more elusive T's, but i was able to snap a few low quality pictures. It's cool to see the faint pyramid on the carapace come through. I'm guessing they are juvie(ish)? Right about 1.5" or so.
Great shots, Phormingochilus are very elusive. I see my fossorials more often than them. Even if I go in at nite and try to spy them with a flashlight they're usually not out.

I feel the same way about them. I see my O schioedtei juvie more than that one. Out of curiosity, do you set up your fossorials in bins or cages? Their not commonly asked about or kept I feel like.

I used a pretzel jar for my king baboon mostly filled with dirt. Until it died after a bad molt. I give every terrestrial enough dirt to burrow my t albo does.

King Baboons die easily. Behavior wise from a sling standpoint they can be a pain. Not the brightest T imo

Please be a female 🙏 My Subfusca highland came out of a molt a few days ago. They finally hit that stage when they put on some real size.

Interestingly, this has been my slowest growing pokie behind my P met. So hopefully that's an indication of sex (knock on wood)

I'm not exactly sure but I think the answer is bins? I keep them as jars of dirt. I like the food storage containers with air tight locking lids. Obviously they're not airtight when I drill holes in them, but the locking lids are nice. I do 3-4 rows of small holes on the top and 2-3 rows of holes on the bottom. I only do that on 2 sides though not all 4 sides. It gives them a lot of security imo so that's why I see them out on top I guess
