I've got an Aphonopelma hentzi sling in a deli cup that buried itself back in early July. I know this is spiderian for "Leave me be," but I'm wondering how long before I need to stress over this 1/3 inch sling who hasn't eaten anything in four months.
The little 'un dug its burrow so I have a viewing window, and I can see it is fine. I dribble water into the container soaking down to its level so it is able to drink periodically. Is this window perhaps a problem? Should I cover it so it doesn't have a false sense of being "above ground" from the light?
I know tarantulas go underground for a while, so I wasn't really worried when it closed up the burrow entrance, but I never really expected one so small to go away for so long.
