Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lentulus" data-source="post: 195522" data-attributes="member: 34044">The Aphonopelma in my avatar has been in that little spot for 5ish months. Giant black spot on the butt not visible in the pic since I got em. I’ve just been letting it be because I have other younger specimens that have closed and opened up their burrows at will. Im lucky that I can keep an eye on it.Unfortunately, even Tom Moran gives inconsistent advice on this topic. He’s got an article where he talks about getting worried, diggin up a T, seeing the T was fine, and realizing how much stress he caused it. Recommends not doing anything unless 6 months or so. In seper  video, he talks about potentially saving the life of a T he had to dig up much sooner than six months. It’s an area that doesn’t seem to have a ”right” answer.</blockquote>
