I dug up my trapdoor for the same reason once. it pouted on the surface for two days, molted then dug itself back in. I like them :)

Why is that so amusing 😂 like, imma be mad at you for awhile, & then give you my molt gift, then just bury myself in dirt 🤣

[@osteophagus]

A perfect example of when it would be great if our pets could understand us. "I promise I'm not trying to torture you I'm just making sure you're still alive and improving your home."

[@RisingFromTheAshes97]

It might be helpful to cover the sides of the box with some dark paper on the side where she was burrowing. It will block the light then she may burrow against the side and you could peek behind the paper to see.

Tarantula kat(digging) (Spider pops out) Spider: OMFG thank god i've been stucked for Days!!! Where the hell where you?!! Didnt you hear me screaming

[@jamieclark9607]

OMG! I totally just jumped out of my skin when she attacked the brush! That spider is so cool, and I'm SO glad she's still alive!

[@heidijkeil]

Spiders scare the crap out of me, but this is probably one of my favorite spiders to look at. She’s really beautiful and unique.

[@takeaflying]

I noticed while it was crawling in the new enclosure that it is missing one of its legs. Nice to see that doesn't really impair it abilities.

[@tarantulakat]

Yes! It came with a leg missing. I suspect in the wild it’s common but it should grow back in a few molts

but it’s no reason to be angry at the person who commented it

[@IrieRogue]

Yeah you kinda can't help but see it lol. I am very glad it's ok. Mine is precisely the same way, I rarely see her. She has eaten several meals, I just don't get to bear witness.

[@sockmonkey4484]

Hiding in a hole, popping out only long enough to grab some delivery. The perfect Covid era spirit animal.

[@callmekeir4858]

I'm glad you decided to check on her!! And super glad that it worked out for the best!!

[@Annathesurfer]

It’s so ironic, I literally JUST watched the video where you unboxed it like an hour ago!!

[@IrieRogue]

I *very rarely* see mine. Luckily my girl (named her Cabbage, also got her from Tom) made a couple windows in her tunnels so I can see her every once in a while. She eats her feeders pretty regularly, I just never get to see it. I'm also constantly asked for feeding videos and updates. I managed to get a somewhat decent shot of her in one of my more recent videos through her bottom window. I have just under 8 inches of substrate (it compressed over time).

[@ravenm6443]

Those glass spiders are really neat! What a cool gift!! Glad you’re tarantula is doing ok.

[@Heymian]

Not gonna lie, seeing you stick your hand in the bucket digging it out gave me anxiety. You either have a lot of experience with spiders or your very brave

[@digiman6602]

I'll go with very brave lol

[@Heymian]

I think I agree. Trapdoors are really venomous and to stick your hand in there, 😳 . Regardless, glad the spider is okay 👍🏻

[@tenritniehtnoyugmodnar5661]

Timestamp?

[@jolicreole5143]

@@Heymian incorrect. Their venom doesn’t do much but the bites can be very painful and they rarely bite. Its very low risk.

I have one of the american versions, Cyclocosmia truncata. I see it maybe once every couple of months. Nice to see the Chinese version is just as ornery, and spicy as ours. Mine is an absolute hellbeast, and strikes at anything that gets too close.

How can the subtrait be to deep? The earth is deeper... they know by instinct how deep they need to go😊

[@tarantulakat]

I think so too but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TDEDen]

@@tarantulakat just happy to see it doing well... your a great spider mommy...😊🕷🕸

[@fullonsociopath]

In the wild, there isn't such thing as too deep of a burrow. But there is evidence that they find prey that is crawling through the soil naturally. In captivity most people don't include all the little creepy crawlies that you would find in outside dirt. Not just isopods or springtails, but earthworms, centipedes, beetle larvae etc. In captivity if you're only offering prey from above, you should limit their burrow depth. This goes for fossorial tarantulas as well. And of course there are people that keep P. muticus in 5 gallon buckets and they do fine. She did the right thing, imo.

[@TDEDen]

@@fullonsociopath makes sense... thats some good advice

[@trapdoorspider9211]

At T.D.E den Agreed.

So cool yet so strange! I love it so happy for you that its still alive! ☺️ Yayyy im so glad you got my mail girl, love ya 💜

I am glad your beautiful Trapdoor is still with you. She is very unique and I do hope she likes her new enclosure. The shirt, leggings and glass siblings are wonderful. Nice video.

So glad its okay! I was so nervous watching, I can't imagine how you must have felt!

[@WhiteIndoraptor]

Omg when that spider struck the ground it gave me a mini heart attack! Lol 😂

[@worldserpent9878]

I have two golden traps doors, and they do the same thing going a month with no sign of them, so what I have ended up doing is breaking a hole at the entrance then leaving it for a day. For some reason, they will open the burrow which allows me to feed them.

[@mctron22rd]

What an amazing spider, she is so unique and cool looking. When I saw her unboxing, I really thought her butt got squished somehow and i was all hurt over it. When you had said that was just her hour glass figure, I was so relieved. She is absolutely beautiful! She does look like an oreo cookie from behind.

[@smolmishka609]

You poking that is literally what all of us do 😂😂 sometimes they like to be sassy and stubborn. I've had to dig up my one t and she's given me heart attacks multiple times 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@AranDeathly]

I felt that worry in my soul. I hadn't seen my LSD earth tiger outside of its burrow for 3 weeks, not even legs, so I finally went in for a peak and it had passed away. I'm glad you're outcome was much more positive!

[@tarantulakat]

oh no

[@AranDeathly]

@@tarantulakat It sucks, but I knew it would be an uphill battle with that species, living in a really cold climate and trying to keep humidity up whilst providing additional heat to such a sensitive young spider was a labour of love, shame it didn't pan out 😪

Untill your unboxing video i had heard of this spider but never seen one! Its such a unique and angry lil spidey

[@dangerkatz]

Damn shame it's wild caught, though I'm glad you're at least trying to give it a good life in captivity.

It might be that in the wild, the earth is full of other dirt dwelling critters to feed on. I know only a handful of places that don't have dirt dwelling critters.

[@williamwlotzka8721]

When I was younger I used to watch everything I could about the more"exotic"animals that people take care of. If I remember correctly,trapdoors have trigger strands of their silk at particular places around the door opening of their hole,so when a critter walks by the spider knows exactly where the prey item is relative to itself,to ensure the best chance of a successful kill. Sorry it was so long
