Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus (LSD/Indian Rainbow Tarnatula)

Hi everyone, realise these are fairly rare (and expensive!) In the hobby at the moment but was wondering whether the burrowing of my 3 slings gs is typical. The picture is not the best but basically all 3 have made their own tunnels in the substrate but thay have also made vertical shoots that they sit (stand is probably more accurate) with front legs sticking out. Until there is any slight disturbance and then thy vanish so quickly. They are feeding well and all seem settled but just want to make sure the behaviour is consistent with others out there. All my 3 are doing the same so they must all like or all hate it.....lol
Some pics below but not the best due to the plastic enclosures.

I'd say if all 3 are doing the same things and they're eating ok then they're doing just fine . I believe they can be pet holes

Thanks Hun. They certainly are. Hoping to see my investment one day.....lol. the only thing I was thinking of doing was topping up the substrate so the the vertical shoot was not as prominent as maybe they need it deeper? Apart from that, they seem happy so might wait until ready to rehouse. Only 1-2cm slings atm.

I've found quite a few species seem to like constructing those shoots regardless of the depth of substrate.

Thanks, first time I have seen any of mine do it so was just checking but I think all is ok
