[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 202369, member: 3872"] C. lividum is now Cyriopagopus lividus, and comes from Singapore/Myanmar. It's an obligate burrower that favors deep soil with a moisture gradient, drier at the top to more damp deeper down. It is best to compact the substrate to allow burrows to hold shape until the spider can reinforce with webbing. It will also favor temperatures above 24° C on average and will dig to avoid heat, so don't heat below the enclosure. If you give the spider some foliage or brush it will web the those areas while digging it's burrow, eventually making an inverse dirt funnel with multiple options for entrance and exit. Here is something for you to to watch from our own @tomo [MEDIA=youtube]KHzQwWJRKdk[/MEDIA] Give it time to settle in and always provide access to clean water. [/QUOTE]
