My Aphonopelma Seemanni has dug plenty, but never really made deep tunnels or burrows.
My Chilobrachys Huahini don't seem keen on burrowing, even though I have offered them the space to do so.
Now my Hysterocrates Gigas BURROWS. I set them up with lots of moist substrate and they immediately went about making amazing tunnels.
As the cold weather interacts with my home's heat, condensation appears within my H Gigas' burrow- plenty in the morning.
Now I am happy to provide cross ventilation along the bottom of her enclosure, to allow for better airflow, but is it necessary?
I know this species needs alot of moisture.
Do you all see some amount of condensation in your fossorial burrows? And do you ever vent the bottom of your enclosures (far below the surface?)
I've attached photos of the setup- appreciate your thoughts!
