Very nervous type compounded by being confined in a very small space flanked by two agressive Lq's...lol

i love this genus! hope you enjoy! they are subtle beauties with personality!

i recently had to help one get back on its feet after what must've been a hard moult. was trying to curl but i was hand watering it every day...each time she would perk up a bit and dart somewhere, like up my arm! at 5" LS!!! hahaha that was fun!
was worried about her recovering fully but not letting me know til i tried to pick her up, but no fear of that...instead she darted down her burrow like lightening and nearly gave me a coronary haha
at least i know she is on the mend now!

at any rate, i usually don't have much trouble with them, but they are speedy when they want to be! as usual would rather run down their burrow then fight, though.

ost T's would rather run away than to stand and fight, BUT, my OBT's is abit different lol

u sure its a chilobrachys?

This is a current shot of the above; it has established a burrow and seems content in its quarters. The problem I have is getting it to eat taking into consideration it's skittishness, I'm having a difficult time. I need some suggestions on techniques.

hmmm i put cut up pieces of meal worms at the entrance of the burrow .. and it works fine for me wait til u see the webing it is capable of webing

i've had no difficulty getting mine to feed at any size, i just put food in and leave them alone, and the food vanishes lol
if you have difficulty finding small crickets, they usually take ones even slightly bigger than themselves, or yes you can opt to cut up crickets or mealworms and leave them at the entrance.
a ready supply of water is probably the most important bit.
also raising the temp a few degrees might kick start their appetite.

Thanks, that worked out fine as far as the temp and placing tidbits by the burrough entries.
