Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 56269" data-attributes="member: 1152">I don't have a Chilobrachys sp. "Nong Ya Blonk" (man, that's a fun name!), but I have a C. guangxiensis and a C. dyscolus. Both act very similarly. They are skittish, secretive, and move very fast. Both have deep moist substrate as they are obligate burrowers, and the dyscolus is usually in its burrow with just its feet poking out. My guanxiensis spent all of its time in its burrow until its latest molt. After molting on the surface, it spun itself and impressive web cave, which it hides in. I'm curious to see if/when it will burrow again. What size is your "Nong Ya Blong" (again...awesome name).</blockquote>
