Finally received my camera back from the shop, first things first, is the spider! Took some advice from folks here, redid Shelobs Terrarium.


And some pictures of course!

Just a random addition, I was very happy to wake up this morning and peek into the enclosure to see that she has started to dig around again. I think I messed her up when I messed with her home twice within a few days. I wanted to add more substraight so I went and bought a small round block of Coconut fiber to mix with the jungle earth, only to realize the small block that I was told "should layer" a 10 gal, did not even add a layer to the ground. I wanted to go another inch and a half deeper. SO, poor girl had to get used to that for a two days only to have me come back and re-do it all again once I bought a large block. Would rather have extra than not enough.

It has been a few days, the fibers are finally drying out completely and she seems to move around on them a bit more. Note, the ground was not "to" wet when I added, it, it only had enough moisture for me to break off the brick and fluff out.

ANYWHO, yes, I am thrilled to see her digging out her cave more, and back to digging out the corner of her terrarium.

very nice :) .....i would just like to add that when you go to touch your T for the first time for whatever reason you should always use something other than your hand like tongs or paint brush ...next time she may not be so nice.....just sayin :)

Haha probably wise, I would learn my lesson the hard way. Though I do try to make sure she knows I'm there. I was messing with her a bit before the video, she has been pretty, inactive, the last few days. Not wanting to eat, kinda just chillin.. Read it might be close to a molt but keeping on eye on her either way. Beside the video I haven't been messing with her to much since I redid her tank, trying to give her time to chill and settle. I figured if she does not perk up after a week or so, I would seek advise. WHICH! I must add is another reason I was rather happy to see she was digging around lastnight lol
