Hi
I recently aquired a poecilotheria rufilata about 4 and a half inches big. The enclosure it lives in is perhaps a bit big for it's size, 12x12x16 inches. I made 2 hides for it up along the wall and some roots hoping it would settle in one of them. Instead it had chosen to burrow beneath one of the roots. I know burrowing is considered normal for a spiderling but diddn't know they did at this size/age too.
I'm not worried about it. If it choses to burrow I'm sure it's happy down there. I'm just a bit curious about how long it is considered normal for arboreal tarantulas to burrow?
