c. lividus juvenile rehousing

rehousing my juvenile Cyriopagopus lividus tarantula.
please ignore my ramblings lol
i was a bit nervous throughout this process because while it is not my first tarantula, it is my first juvenile and the first that i have raised from the spiderling stage. it’s also my first burrowing and first old world tarantula, because when i got it i didn’t realize how “advanced” the species was. oops! do your research first folks. wont make that mistake again.
they are not a very good beginner species because they are very fast, defensive, and their bites are medically significant. luckily i am able to adapt well, and i have had a good experience with it so far and am confident in my handling and husbandry, so i was able to jump from “casual” to “advanced” no problem.
to get her up and out of her burrow, i used the flooding method which worked beautifully. after that she decided she wanted to stay in the opening of her den but luckily it slid right out and i was able to gently pressure her out.
her enclosure looks barren for now but after she’s had a few hours to settle i will add some clean driftwood and rocks to act as anchor points for any webs she might spin, and in the winter when the humidity is lower i will give her a water dish but for now she can get water from the substrate. (:
right now she doesn’t have a name but i’ve been calling her peanut butter because she has lived in an old peanut butter jar. i’m not ever sure she’s a she.
i’m the one doing the dirty work, my roommate recorded.
