[QUOTE="SullivanC, post: 219273, member: 39066"] I am glad you like it here my friend I love this forum too I have been here for awhile now and not once I ever seen anyone that had bad attitude, people here are cool and helpful :) you are brave to go with the species that you did because they are not for beginners and most people when they choose their first spider they usually go with brachypelma, grammostola or avicularia which are the arboreal beginner species, I never personally had the species you went for so I cant speak much on their care but since it is a fossorial species I would keep the substrate moist especially the bottom so the spider is able to make tunnels, if its dry they wont be able to burrow so keeping it moist is essential for them to make burrow nicely :) not sure if anyone mentioned this but if every time you try feeding this one since it might be skittish or defensive or both skittish and defensive it would be good idea to do feeding somewhere like bathroom where it has alot of open area but make sure to block all the holes like ventilations and under the doors or any other holes there might be so if worse case scenario happens and spider just runs out of his or her enclosure its easier to find it and at all times have brush and catch cup ready. Also if the substrate is moist do not keep watering it because it can cause mold so these are important things as well to remember :) [/QUOTE]
