The Tiger Rump has built a nice silk trap web next to its burrow; which is now a couple of burrows that could be joined together. It spends most of its time tucked away underneath, and it's exciting to see it make its place more of a home!
As for the Red Knee, it seems to be getting darker every day and heading closer to a moult, I hope it will happen any day now as it hasn't eaten since we had it, which is slightly worrying but it is to be expected. There will be photographes when it does :)
It is probably not possible to get some photos of the webbing, but I'm sure that spiderling will spin more and then you can see some photos!

This is really interesting!
ReplyDeleteMy C.fasciatum (also from the spider shop, so we have like brothers or sisters! :P) has also been digging holes here there and everywhere.
I was under the impression that they were a great display species because they didn't burrow, certainly the adult we have at work is like that.
At least I know mine isn't broken! :P
Hi Kurt,
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've learned, spiderlings generally like to burrow whatever species they are, I guess they just like to feel safe!
My red knee has done it too but a little less precise than the tiger rump; he's just pushed himself into the corner of the box. Tiger rump has made these perfect little holes and it loves it!
