y'all really came through with the advice and i (and atticus) greatly appreciate it. :D

i really do appreciate your input and i had the same thoughts about how their habitats are in the wild. hahah she does poop on the sides so good to know. i will clean out the dried up cricket carcasses - i assume i don't need to worry about the ones that are in her death tunnels?

greetings, it's been approx 17 months since i set up atticus (Grammostola rosea) in her new enclosure where she's gotten busy making tunnels and i wanted advice on when I should clean it out thoroughly. She hasn't molted this year and I don't wanna clean her enclosure if it'll mess with her...

I really need to up my enclosure game Y'all are hella inspiring, tbh.

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to share with me your process - I don't take that lightly and I really do appreciate it. I was doing something similar with Atticus. Usually she pokes her front side out of her half log when she's hungry - I take it as her way of saying "alright...

Yeah, I think I'll do that. - I'll head to PETCO tomorrow and get 10 crickets, gut load them and then give her one. When you say "pre-kill" do you buy them that way or do you kill them yourself?

At first she had refused to eat so when she does that, I usually take a pause on giving her crickets but now that she's got her den all webbed up, maybe I should put one in and see if she eats it?

Currently there are no crickets. I usually buy them weekly but she's been holed up so I paused cuz I didn't want them to hurt her if she was going into pre molt mode. It's been a few weeks since she's eaten.

Why thank you and yes but I gotta be honest, it was my sister-in-law who named her. It really is an awesome name. She always gets compliments.

Thank you Jeef. We actually adopted her from my hubby's cousin who I believe wanted a dog but had to find her a new home so we took her - that was back in 2011.

Thank you, I really do appreciate the information. I feel like hubby and I messed up by getting her such a massive tank (40 gallons) to begin with so lately I've been worried about whether its comfortable enough for her. I'm relieved to learn that her species is pretty durable but still my aim...

True...she's been in there for a few weeks now. I'm a little worried. Should I be putting crickets in or no? Do G.Roses hibernate?

Thank you for the recommendation. I just cancelled my order for the 12x12x12 one and ordered the one you recommended. :D
