[QUOTE="SullivanC, post: 223098, member: 39066"] Hi welcome to the hobby and forum! your spider seems normal, aphonopelma species are similar to rose hair (grammostola porteri/rosea) they dont seem to like being active alot so its normal behavior from them if they dont move. You asked people to not bash you but no worries, this is not arachnoboards and we are pretty friendly here when it comes to new people :) terrestrial species need alot of substrate to prevent them from possibly falling down and getting hurt so can you take a picture of enclosure if thats okay? from the picture you provided it doesnt look bad at all, nice setup but substrate level seems little too small compared to enclosure so just for safety I would maybe just add more substrate and something you should keep in mind is dont add anything to their water dishes, I know pet stores tell you to put sponge but dont take their advice, just fill the water dish with water and leave it like that. Sponge is dangerous because it grows bacteria in the water very quickly that can harm the spider. :) If you have any more questions feel free to ask them and we can happily help you out if needed [/QUOTE]
