[QUOTE="Jeef, post: 222745, member: 36825"] Greetings and welcome aboard! I always get tarantulas at the expos. I'm gonna get some more in about two weeks at an expo. No problem there. I've got a few Aphonopelmas, and what you are describing is completely normal. They don't do a whole lot. When they do, I wouldn't think too hard about it. They go on hunger strike. They bury themselves and don't come out for months. They know what they are doing. Heater on the bottom of the tank is a bad idea. It is instinct for them to dig down to get out of the heat in addition to all the other reasons they dig. You might want to give it some more substrate to dig around in. At the end of the day, Aphonopelma chalcodes are super easy to take care of. [/QUOTE]
