Hysterocrates Gigas behavior change

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Usually she would stay below ground, now she just sits outside in the open no care at all. She is eating extremely well, also no threat poses etc. So I'm wondering, as they become larger do their burrowing behaviors change ? Any input would be appreciated, since I only have her that's this big the others are still small. She is about 14cm.

Seem's the same as mine, mine seemed to grown in confidence with age......lets face it I wouldn't mess with her.

Haha,hello its just weird switch of behavior and never refuses food etc. I think a hugely underrated species, and awesome to observe.

I agree totally, Iv'e recently found this with my Stromatopelma calceatum

Have that one as well, I have 2 togos,feather leg,3 h gigas,p.muticus and an obt. They are all great to observe etc.

I haven't had much luck with my OBT's two died young although I saw enough of them to know what they were about...very active! i have a few Ephebopus cyanognathus slings !! extremely impressive display wise....

Ah blue fang ? Haven't had one,just heard they are hard to take care of.

Yeah, amazing to watch! the colors are the best iv'e seen on a young T! they don't seem to require any special treatment compared to any others........

Maybe its our environment ? Or peoples bad luck, or just a tall tale. That's why I've been avoiding them so far, but will consider them also the m.balfouri.

m.balfouri is one on my wish list.......stunning! I started with the usual suspects so now feel confident to go for the more aggressive, colorful, high maintenance to keep in the hobby but no matter how long you have been keeping them or how experienced you think you are as soon as you get a new one your just as nervous and curious as the first Rosea you started on........ if you feel confident just go for it ...these sites always offer tips or advice if you need it. I'd go for what ever your drawn too.....

I have a few difficult and aggressive ones, so hope that counts for something. Like cobalt blues etc.
