Hi all
Meet Raven my Grammostola Pulchra juvenile.She is with me since 08.04.2020 and is bought from @Phil.A very healthy gorgeous little girl but that's not a surprise having in mind where I purchased her from.lol
She is currently housed in a beautiful acrylic enclosure that is a present from @T-Baby (Thank you very much once again!)
The reason why I am posting a bit late is that after I housed her she expanded her burrow and chose to live the fossorial life untill last few days.She is fed a large cricket once a week and is eating like a champ since day two with me.
Here are few pics of her and the enclosure.

Hi all
Raven is doing very well.
She is still settling in as it seems as spends quite a bit of time on the sides.Not sure if me accidentally overflowing the water dish and moistening that corner may have caused that behaviour as thay like it dry as far as I know.
She for some reason closed herself out of her burrow this morning.

Hi all
A little update.
She keeps eating and eating.I feed her one large cricket once a week but decided to put her on diet as she is getting very fat.lol
After the last feed I did the usual maintenance and opened her burrow for her as she seems to spend fair bit of time on the sides.That and my decision not to feed her for a while seems to have upset her as she went in and closed shop later in the day.Stroppy cow! haha

Hi all
Few weeks ago Raven cleaned and closed her burrow. Initially I thought she will moult again as she does that when entering premoult but after a week and a bit she opened it and was poking her legs waiting for food.I fed her and she has been eating well since then.Needed to rearrange the shelf and she got a new home since she is still eating strong .

Hi all
its been a while since my last update but its Grammostola at the end of the day and things are happening slow.lol
She has been on and off her food for a while and I was waiting for a moult. She seems to have slowed down as she gained some size as last cycle was 246 days compared to 104 from before that.She is a big girl now at arround 4.5 - 5 inch and looking awesome.
Enjoy
