Sometimes i'll disrupt (read: destroy) my B. Smithi's den so she can make a new one. I know it's crappy but each and every time she makes a whole new one that's completely different than the last. Yesterday I was spot cleaning and feeding and made a mess of her old den. This morning when I looked in she made a new one that Trumps the old one. She's (I say she but I have no idea what it is) about 2" and her new burrow is probably 5" long with and entrance and exit.

It probably keeps her fit ! Why shell out on expensive gym membership when you can get them digging?

I almost always mess up Ares' "pad" when I clean. He lays out this nice webbing outside his half log and it always gets stuck to the tongs. Plus he likes to leave dead crickets in the back of his house :rolleyes: So sometimes I have to destroy it to clean them out. I figure in the wild their houses would get ruined once in a while, and it gives him some exercise, he eats just fine so I'm not worried about tiring him out. :) As long as your not doing it really often, I don't see a problem with it.
