If someone only put in 1 inch of substrate or none, no burrow.A pet store that sells them keeps all the spiders on paper towels even Cobalt blues. They put cups over them each day and slide in new paper towels right under their feet.I guess you can't sell something in a burrow!!When I donated my scorplings because I couldn't keep them all, I got to watch them go through the routine.They practically begged me to buy some mystery one that the entire staff was afraid of. I declined.  They even offered it to me as long as I purchased the cage!! I politely declined again. I did get to look at it.... carefully.They called it a Chinese earth tiger, but said it would hide in the underside of the lid and try to bite.A collector had donated his collection to the store after I donated my scorplings.I have no idea why a pet store sells 4x more OW then sensible new world ones.  Last time I went there, they even had both a male and female Cobalt.The rest were baboons except for the Asian tiger, which was some sort of haplo.There was one lowly A Metallica, 3".I'm referring to Rick's fish and pet in Frederick MD.</blockquote>
