Just came home from a 14 hour shift and my T has decided to dig a half decent burrow. Is that usual for a Chilean ?

Hi all just came in to find T constantly climbing tank to escape. Nothing has changed environment wise, temp and water good etc... any reasons for this behaviour?

Hi all, just came in to find T is very active and trying to climb the tank to escape. Seems unusual behaviour, has anyone experienced this before or have advice on behaviour?

Thanks @Kymua, substrate all dried and now she is grooming ontop of the bark and has span webbing on the substrate during the night.

@Kymura here are some picture of the basic set up. I have just moved her to a temp house and checked the substrate under the coconut shell and bark. The subsrate was damp and the under side of the bark and coconut shell was damp (my fault for not fully drying the substrate), so maybe this is...

It has been five days since I re-housed the T and all she...

Amazing job on those. Night time simulations looks brillaint. Im in the process of building my own acrylic perspects tank for a new T sop hopefully all goes well!

Thanks, looking to buy a new mature Chilean but would like a bigger tank with a few more accessories, any advice?

Thanks Kormath.

Hi all, brought a tarantula last year (Chilean rose) and it's had its first successful molt since I have had it. Just wanting some advice on whether the tank size looks suitable for my Chilean rose! Thanks
