[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 223090, member: 29323"] I brought a Cyriopagopus minax in December last year & I have still not seen it. I'm told it's female, but other than a very occasional glimpse of movement, thanks to a torch shone down it's burrow, I am yet to see it. My daughter has seen it's legs at the burrow entrance. She claims. But thats life with T's. Pet holes are only the start. Some, like my Cyriopagopus lividus do not even have holes. I know the lividus is there, as sometimes, if you lift the enclosure up, you can see her moving through the bottom of the enclosure. And then there are the curtain builders & the great camouflages. My wife has a small juvi Poecilotheria hanumavilasumica. We hope it's still on it's bark, but you look all you want & it's not there. Sometimes after a really lucky break, you can spot it. But its camaflarge is so good, it's near impossible to spot. And did I mention the Heteropoda boei? It's a Litchen Huntsman with a DLS of around 4.5 inches. It's in a glass enclosure & my wife calls it Wally because sometimes you can spend minutes thinking where's Wally? & it's there on a branch, out in the open, when you know it's there. [/QUOTE]
