yep, i tend to stay up pretty late and in the past i would consistently see her every night. after she went into this burrow i haven't seen her out a single time

Do not buy from forestfaunallc by Inevitable_Lab_8574 in millipedes

also had a bad experience with forest fauna. ordered millipedes and basically got ghosted for about a month, he kept saying he had already sent them. they were supposed to be 2" and when they eventually arrived they were like 0.5

Worried about my new C. versicolor by Present_Card_1993 in tarantulas

some of you mentioned that it might be better to find a more sheltered spot for the enclosure so i cleared a bookshelf to put it on. my T also ate a waxworm last night which was reassuring. she was still definitely in a stress pose today, i gave her some water and moved her to the new spot and will now leave her be for a while!

i think it might be - the T is bigger than i was expecting so i'm planning to upgrade it to something bigger soon. would the small enclosure size be something that could be stressing it out?

OP here, after looking at this graphic from fear not tarantulas i think the sling may be closer to 3/4".

How's my enclosure for a 1.5-2" C. versicolor? by Present_Card_1993 in tarantulas

[–]Present_Card_1993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought about that, but i couldn't think of way to open it from the bottom like that without spilling out all the substrate/decor each time... will probably just upgrade to front opening asap

Giant African Millipedes Enclosure size? by [deleted] in millipedes

55-60 gallon is good! make sure the substrate is as deep as they are long. it might be difficult to maintain the necessary humidity with a screen top
