Message: <blockquote data-quote="southeastgunguy" data-source="post: 26841" data-attributes="member: 2872">Thanks for the advice, I have her in a 5.5 gallon tank and am using a mixture of peat moss and potting soil for substrate. I have a small water dish and a half of a hollow log for her to hide in. She is doing great so far, she webbed the inside of her den after burrowing down 3" or so. I was a little concerned at first because she ate 14 crickets in the first 3 days I had her. She is now eating around 2-3 crickets every few days, she webbed the whole floor and now comes out at night and will lay flat on the ground with her abdomen raised slightly. I have not yet tried to handle her I'm not afraid of her I just don't want to accidentally hurt her. Thanks for responding and any other advice would be great.</blockquote>
