Had a cat around the ant traps and he never showed interest in them. Put I'm sure some cat/ dog somewhere might have. Might be one of those case by case situations. I guess best practice would be to put the traps where it's not so easy to access them but still get the job done! Lol. Happy...
The ants truly caused some panic! Got into some of my smaller T's enclosures but all were good! Think the ants were after water and detritus possibly. If they had kept coming that probably would have changed! Traps did the job and all is well!
Accidentally hit post! Remove the ant traps when ants gone! Get paranoid that they might come out before dying and go in an enclosure and maybe cause an issue. But have had none to date and the ant invasion abated!

Have had not even a threat pose. Like a lot of my Chilobrachys they are nowhere as bold or defensive as Molopeus\Cyriopagopous they always run to hole. Still careful with these guys. As a species my Chilobrachys are not as defensive as any of my Phormingochilus really. My largest is a Kaeng...
Love Chilobrachys and these guys are glorious! Can't believe it took me so long to get one. Again bad camera work. Hopefully the spood makes up for it!
That second sling if it is a Chilobrachys Fimbriatus it shouldn't take long to know. The sling I got, from what I can tell from pic, was a bit bigger and was sporting that beautiful striped abdomen already! Only guessing,and big if , a molt or 2 at best. My first impression of the first pic was...
