[QUOTE="MBullock, post: 217042, member: 33994"] He will feel the vibration. they make a silk mat around the entrance of their burrow. In the wild they also add 'trip-lines' to alert them of prey walking by from quite a distance- two feet is the longest ive seen it, I learnt this when i noticed they were detecting me from unusual distances in the wild when i'd hunt them. At first i thought I was scaring them, but it ended up being them preparing to ambush, as they would quickly re-orient and creep to the entrance. They can also detect the heartbeat of the prey item, as well. their trichobothriae (sensory hairs) are super duper sensitive and can detect air currents and pulses. Sometimes when i "tickle" the tarantula out it takes quite a while, indicating the spider was extremely deep in the burrow. [/QUOTE]
