I read through that post...and I can guarantee I will not be harrassing the spider into threat displays LOL

Exactly! And then the risk he put the T in to fall to the floor, I'm sorry but he deserved it! I want one myself also. I find them strikingly beautiful. It is already on my T wish list!

Yeah, I've read some impressive stories about their speed and defensiveness. It is also one of the reasons I love them so. I will definitely own one someday, but not right away. Kenny has got me thinking about an OBT though hehe.

I agree with Kenny, P. Murinus over an H. Lividum, but if I dont have to pick sides, i'm taking both! .
I'm hoping to get a few more P. murinus next month, if the guy will work with me .

I have a H. lividum I purchased about 3 weeks ago, I rehoused her from her deli cup into a 10 gallon with roughly 7inches of coco fiber substrate hoping she would burrow but all she does is cringe up in the back corner or her tank. She rarely ever moves around except when she hangs on the tank glass. I started a hole for her in the substrate. Cage, temp, humidity is all good and checked out. I was just really hoping to see her do her natural thing and burrow. There is absolutely no chance of picking up this evil thing so I'm just wondering if shes just going to be a pretty couch potatoe to just look at or if she might need more time to settle in? Thanks guys!

Any changes in your H. Lividum?

Congratulation! you'll never see her again lol

Yea I kind of figured that much! But she will at least molt outside of her burrow though right?

none of mine ever have . I usually open the enclosure to change the water and they have pushed their exuvium out.

 

[8leggedfreak]

Wow so they must make plenty of room in the borrow to molt

 

[Nada]

yeah, they usually make a nice sized den at the bottom of the enclosure.
