Cyriopagopus sp. Midnight Blue (form Haplopelma sp. Midnight Blue) digging its new home

[Enn49]

Little Midnight has worked so hard building its new home. One problem is that it's right under the water bowl and most of the substrate is now in the water bowl so I'm not sure what to do about that.

This is just one of the many trips Midnight has made but shows how much work they put in, digging, webbing and carting.

I just leave it and give them a new one, seems a shame to totally disrupt things when they worked so hard to get them the way they like them,
vids not working says its set to private?

There may just be room to add another smaller bowl. I'd hoped it would burrow under the cork bark but that's Ts for you.

Sorry, the video should be working now.

I stood watching it for ages, completely engrossing. As you said that bum wiggle is great.

That was my oldest girl (she's 15) having her supper, she likes to chat while she's eating and I had to answer her forgetting that my camera records sound when it's videoing. She's such a slow eater now that I feed her in the living room so the others can't steal from her.

If you are searching for it it may be a good idea to use its original name of Haplopelma sp. Midnight Blue, it's one of those that has just been renamed.
