[QUOTE="Pasodama, post: 114567, member: 16469"] Thanks.:) There isn't a whole lot of information re. this specific species but, from my understanding, this is not your typical Ornithoctonus. Many photos will show them in/amid webbing. Even in the wild, again from my understanding, you can find them in webbing between anchor points. Perhaps some may make a burrow or a burrow of sorts(?). I made my girl's enclosure to where she could either burrow or climb. Her free choice to either burrow, behave as a terrestrial, or to go somewhat arboreal. There is enough substrate, should she choose to burrow, but she has never shown the slightest indication of having a desire to burrow ... nor has she ever tried. Her preference is to make webbing between anchor points (utilizing plants, cork bark pieces, etc.). So far, webbing has been at ground level or close to ground level. Another person's experience, with this species, has mimicked the behavior of my girl. It would be nice, however, to talk to more people, who own this specific species, should the opportunity arise (to share experiences, etc.). My Chilobrachys sp. Electric Blue, OTOH, ... A true underground dweller. LoL Pops up, for some fresh air, every once in awhile though. [/QUOTE]
