i keep getting ppl arguing this is a striped knee or a zebra, or they're just different names for the same tarantula?

Have you changed the substrate to peat or the like? If so as Mike said it will burrow on its own, but go ahead and put half a flower pot in the tank, or something similar to that(not a rock). This usually encourages the T to start digging.Kazuki said:actualy i switched it to a new tank now, no time to take pictures now. but still my T isn't burrowing. do u have to give it a rock or something to get it started? or will it start burrowing on its own, i got plenty of free space.

actually... you can sex a living tarantula from a ventral (underside) view... but it is even more difficult that sexing from a shed.Imegnixs_Cinder said:Kazuki the sex can only be detirmed by a shed skin unless of course its a mature male in which case the ends of the pedipalps would be swollen like he was wearing boxing gloves. When he sheds try and save the skin, there are lots of web sites around that can guide you thro how to tell the sex.
And for the record I think its seemanni I used to have one, very skitty but very pretty
