Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thistles" data-source="post: 79188" data-attributes="member: 3949">Thanks for the info on the H. pulchripes! My female is about 3.5" but it didn't look like her spermathecae were sclerotized her last molt.As for the KBs, I've seen 2 reports. One person (in the UK I think) built a false burrow using a Kritter Keeper connected to a peanut butter jar via a hamster tube... that seemed a little ridiculous to me. The other was a South African hobbyist. I just looked at their native range. I'm almost done with my new build for her, and I will post pics when I finish. I took a 20 gallon tall (12x24x18) and turned it vertical. Apparently they like to burrow under acacia roots, so I've put in a branch upside-down to serve as a sort of false root system. Excessive, I know, but it looks cool anyway. This gives her about 20" in which to burrow. I'm keeping her pretty dry now. My males are around 4" DLS each, so they should mature soon, in the KB relative sense of "soon..."Sorry for the derail! Good luck and thanks again for the information. I'm really excited about those Pamphos you've got.</blockquote>
