Message: <blockquote data-quote="TabithasMom" data-source="post: 63310" data-attributes="member: 3599">I have two that are extreme recluses. Smiley McSunshine (OBT) built a neat barricade of substrate and thick webbing in the entrance of its lair. Occasionally, I get a glimpse of orange and blue toes hanging out one of the holes. The other is my lividum, Maleficent. 75% of the time, I'll see some toes poking out the top of her tunnel (she'll bolt if she knows she's been spotted), or all the way down in the bottom. 28% of the time, I have a pet hole in the ground. It's the remaining 3% when she makes that Sasquatch-like appearance that makes my soul smile. She still is my prized T after all these years. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The rest I have no problem observing at least once a day, even if they're feeling shy.</blockquote>
