So I am up to 7 tarantulas now. I have seen many of them redistribute substrate and dig pits, but never truly burrow. Last week I got a Euathlus sp red and it has built a true burrow and I am a bit worried (probably because of inexperience). I have tried not to jostle the tank as I have heard this can collapse the burrow.
What worries me is when I get a good look at her burrow it seems she has no way to get back to the surface. One end is the underground part and the other end opens into a space underneath her cork bark hide. I tell myself that spiders have been burrowing for millions of years without human assistance and so she probably knows how to do it well. Should I just settle down and let her be?
