[QUOTE="lews r.a.d, post: 202060, member: 37784"] Okay so, I’ve recently just acquired a tarantula known as the Borneo orange fringed. When I got it it was curled up tight not in a death curl but was relatively unresponsive with minimal movements. In spite of this I still (very luckily) made an enclosure for it and left him inside with the tissue he arrived in. I woke up yesterday expecting him to be dead but he had walked into the hide. This species from the little info I could find seems to be a burrower/heavy webbing species but for the past two days he been just free roaming the enclosure occasionally moving corner to corner. Anyone know why he hasn’t began to settle in. I gathered with two days of postage he’d be a little stressed but I didn’t expect him to not settle in like this but I’m unsure this is my first time taking care of a fossorial species. Any tips I will show photos of his enclosure any advice whether it’s suitable would be appreciated or any further info as to his behaviour and things like that Thankyou all[ATTACH type="full"]59788[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]59787[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
