[QUOTE="Zeirath, post: 54480, member: 4131"] When I put the substrate into the container I wet one side of it, so it was moist but not so wet that water came out when I squeezed it and left one side dry, so she could sort of pick where she wanted to go since I wasn't sure which she'd prefer. I packed it down as best I could, the dry side didn't pack down as well as the damp side, I put the starter burrow on the damp side. I'm not sure if they're dry or not, will be trying to work that out as I do more research, I did do HEAPS when I first got my little T Azkwin, but with so many species it's hard to tell. It probably didn't help I didn't know what half of the stuff means when I was researching, but I'm getting there! When searching 'QLD bird eating spider' you mostly get [I]Phlogius crassipes, which is basically what my other T is definitely not the same Tarantula, they look completely different, not sure the difference between the crassipes and the goliath, but eh, that's stuff I gotta learn as well. [/I] [I]While not really an information site or anything, this lists a lot of the different species of Aussie T's [url]http://www.thegreenscorpion.com.au/showcats.toy?aid=44068[/url] They are no longer actively selling them though or I likely would have bought mine from them. Will do more research a bit later tonight before bed and see what I can come up with, there's like 10+ different species of Selenotypus. I just checked out the website which I bought my little tiny T Azkwin, and they have her listed as a Selenotholus sp. On further investigation, the Selenotholus Sp Kotzmans bird eating spider looks almost identical to my larger T ordered from the same pet store but didn't have a species listing.
