Gbbs usually will still eat though which makes me to believe it may not like the mealworms thrashing around. Try prekilling the worm by removing its head. True it would be hard to sex at this size but not impossible.  [USER=7949]@sdsnybny[/USER]  sexs spiders much smaller then yours.  Your enclosure is just fine for a Gbb. I raise all of mine from slings as arboreals in those Amac boxes. Both photoed Gbbs where placed in those boxes at 3rd instar.  It will fill that enclosure with webbing in no time. I would however attach that corkbark to the top of the enclosure. As you can see they web up the top...like a arboreal. As for substate...they don't use it, not even to burrow.  Ive got 1000s of tarantulas that jam out everyday (within reason) unless your breeding a little noise won't hurt. Ive got a couple hamorri in my living room and they don't care at all. If you see it jump or scurry off then maybe its too much[ATTACH=full]53049[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]53050[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p></p>
