[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 140479, member: 27883"] Keep them dry, but with a water bowl. Dampness can kill them. I have three and all of them are a bit skittish, but I still regularly see them out. If I touch the cage to open the lid and feed or water them, they bolt for their lair. All three are excellent eaters and hard hitters. They only refuse food when in pre-molt. Sounds like you've got the rest of the info already. I've never heard the aboreal thing. I have mine set up as terrestrials and they are always on the ground except when on top of their web lairs. I've never seen them high up in their enclosures. This is from when I first got my biggest girl: [ATTACH=full]33450[/ATTACH] I don't have a current pic, but the enclosure and spider look totally different now. I'll try to get a current pic tomorrow.
