Lots of species vary their behaviour with age, slings often burrow where the adults are more of an opportunistic burrower, or aboreal. I always think its best to provide an environment where the spider can do as it pleases rather than limit it to the behaviour dictated by what you've read or been told.</p></blockquote><p></p>
