I have a few H. gigas and an H. lividum that I'm trying to get out of their burrows. The gigas are about 2.5-3" and the lividum is about 5.5". I built custom burrow display tanks for them (w/ panes of glass about 2" apart) and they have constructed intricate burrows already. The only problem is that I want to cast the burrows with dental resin, and I obviously want to save the spiders. How can I get them out? I've tried flooding (obviously this does NO good with the H. gigas), smoking, ice water flooding, luring, etc... The only thing I haven't tried is a heat lamp- moving it gradually up from the bottom of their burrow. Do you guys think this will work? If so, or not, or if you have any other suggestions please let me know. Thank you!
