[QUOTE="Steph, post: 39579, member: 3015"] i have a Brachypelma smithii that is a little over a year old that I have in an enclosure that is 4"x4"x5" (it's the mid-sized box that Jamie's Tarantulas sells). My question is, I don't know if he/she (I usually refer to her as a female) has gotten herself in a bad spot or not. At least 2-3 weeks ago she completely closed herself off from the surface of the coconut substrate in her box. Prior to that, there was always a tunnel that she'd dug that provided access from the surface down to her burrow. The fruit flies I'd give her would find their way down to her via the tunnel and when she molted, she'd come up to the surface to do that, then return to her burrow. Should I try to gently dig an opening down to her burrow? I wrote to Jamie's Tarantulas about this, but still haven't heard anything back. I just don't want the sling getting dehydrated. I still spritz the surface w/ water every 2-3 days or so. Any feedback on this would be welcomed, as I've never raised a baby before. Thank you, Steph [/QUOTE]
