[QUOTE="beebhabie, post: 186966, member: 35491"] Hi everyone, new to the forum and hobby as well. After a few months of research (All you Tarantula YouTubers are my heroes) I finally pulled the plug and picked up my first T about 5 days ago - a beautiful Aphonopelma Chalcodes. I was told she is female and she’s a pretty big girl. If anyone can guestimate age based on her size that would be awesome. I read they grow extremely slow so I can only imagine how old she must be and I of course forgot to ask... Her name is Sprinkles lol. Everyone in my household is terrified so I thought giving her a cute name would make everyone less scared The first day she was exploring her enclosure, by night time I noticed she had already remodeled and created a giant dirt wall on one corner and a much deeper and more elaborate burrow than I had dug out for her. I understand this is normal behavior for them but she also has webbed up the entrance? I can still see through it so it’s not very thick, but I am curious if they normally do that for their burrows?
