    You shoulda seen how they were packaged up in vials wrapped around a moist paper towel! Like they just got in there and stayed put for the ride!

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I've found more joy when youtubers open up their vials or jars (their Ts wrapped up like yours) and getting them out in their enclosures vs those unboxing the new iPhone or Samsung phone :anonymous:

    What are the dimensions of the enclosure, and about how long are the spiders' bodies?

    14” wide x 8” high and 8” deep.

    Biggest balfouri is 2” across and smallest is 1” across.

    Yeah should be a good size. Adding some taller thick stick in there would be good for more anchor points.

    What a weirdo; she burrowed deeper than I would've thought, only to start digging upwards :facepalm:

    You can see her little legs poking out -

    So yesterday when I got home, I thought I'd rotate out the potatoes and carrot pieces I had given my feeders.

    I had several pupae the other day, but only a handful of mealworms left.

    The pupae were too small to give to Penelope, and I was running out of worms since I had fed her the biggest, fattest, worms of the bunch.

    It wasn't until I saw a beetle! I decided to do away with the feeders (only like 3 worms, 2 beetles, and a few pupae) and just start over with crickets.

    What all are you guys feeding your T's with the exception of mealworms and crickets?

    Roaches are probably the best food for them.

    They were small still...

    The reason why I decided against them in general is because I wasn't fit to take care of them in their own separate containers.

    Even though this whole thing hit, I'm working +10hr days and when I get off work everything is closed.

    So the M balfouri are in their communal enclosure. And a few of them were fighting.

    Im working at the gunshop today so I’ll post some pics and vids later. I’m hoping they’ll get along! :angrygirl:
