[QUOTE="rapidfire, post: 216750, member: 37499"] I keep many Chilobrachys species including huahini. The substrate needs to be deep and moist. This species is fossorial and will burrow and tunnel. I use Biodude terra aranea (even if its not a bioactive I still use this substrate). It retains moisture and does not mold. This substrate holds tunnels very well. Chilobrachys can be bery defensive so the throwing up front legs doesn’t surprise me. Not sure what kind of wood that is but you may want to look into that. I would offer food and if she doesn't eat remove it. After rehousing it may take a few days to a week or so for the tarantula to start to burrow. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
