Message: <blockquote data-quote="TokeHound" data-source="post: 201681" data-attributes="member: 37440">Google says:"Terrestrial: Living on or in the ground Fossorial: Adapted for digging and living underground."What is the true difference as far as definition, and as far as how to set up an enclosure correctly for each? I have a B. hamorii, Hapalopus sp. Columbia Large, and A. avicularia. All slings. I know my avic is arboreal. My hamorii digs tunnels and does absolutely no webbing. My H. sp. Columbia digs holes and has some webbing around the sphagnum. What are my hamorii and Columbia considered? Terrestrial or Fossorial?Don't worry about my hamorii dirty dish. I fed it and gave it clean water after I took the pics.</blockquote>
