I've never read much about them. She had a rough trip though, just try to give her time to adjust. If she's in the dish, make a burrow after dampening the substrate.if she crawls into the damp burrow, you know you did right., and I would give a spider that size a bigger dish, just because..Like I said, I know nothing about these, they may be "dry" species for all I know, but try it, see what she does..it can't hurt, especially if she's slowly dying from massive dehydration from that long ass trip through the Aussie heat..in a box...you never know, they generally don't give any signs until they're in serious trouble.</p></blockquote><p></p>
