Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seekeroftruth" data-source="post: 179769" data-attributes="member: 33210">I had read several things that said that Tapinauchenious and Psudoclamoris burrow as slings and that they don't act as arboreals until they get out of the sling stage.My 3, a burgessi,  gigas and violacious, are acting as arboreals right of the bat. Now I'm kicking myself for using top open enclosures. It's only been half a day though. Might they settle in and burrow or should I rehouse them into different enclosures? I'm afraid they may bolt when I try to feed them as I hear this is a common issue with them.The gigas and burgessi are about 3/4 inch and the violacious looks a bit smaller if this makes a difference in what behaviors they might have as far as arboreal vs burrow behaviors.</blockquote>
