Happy Sunday everyone,

I just want to ask some questions about my setup for my P. regalis and O. violaceopes.

I have them both in tall deli cup containers, cocofiber is about 4-5 inches, and sphagnum moss. the regalis is on the side of the container almost all the time. I have heard that slings, and juvenile Poecilotheria have a tendency to burrow. The O. violaceopes has burrowed under its moss. I have not introduced a bark hide yet. Is it currently adequate, I'm having no luck at a local level for cork bark.

Hi
The Pokie will stay on the side of the container until you can provide a hide for it..
Can you not order some cork bark online?
Pokies do burrow but use there cork to make that burrow and make dirt curtains up and around it :)
