…...but at least I got to photograph a couple of burrowers that I don't normally see.
They were just those little white mites that appear when the substrate gets too wet but it was easier to rehouse onto dry sub that to wait until the old stuff dried out. All 4 of these Ts either web their water bowl, fill them with sub or tip them over.
Gao, the Hysterocrates sp Hercules was being stubborn, a nudge with the brush had no effect whatsoever. Once in its new home it began digging immediately.
Chad, Hysterocrates gigas
Putani, Thrixopelma pruriens
Orinoco, Dolichothele exilis
