From what I've experienced when it comes to tarantulas is that almost all species are prone to burrowing regardless what species it is. The only difference is that real burrowers really do dig deep and the none-burrowers would usually burrow only when they are young and it basically starts to minimize when they get older. Some on the other hand, do not minimize their burrowing even when they grow older, some just move dirt all around the enclosure.

I think the safest way is either you bake it under really super hot sun or you bake it in a microwave oven, just to kill it completely. From my experience, scraping doesnt help much at all lol

A few pictures to share with you guys from a recent visit to an old friend's crib,

His ever beautiful looking Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens,



The 3 year old gentle Brachypelma Albopilosum,



Shy & furious, Haplopelma Albostriatum,



Curious greedy little Lasiodorides Striatus,



The 1 year old tiny little bugger, Brachypelma Smithi,



His gorgeous Poecilotheria Regalis,



His first love, the Pterinochilus Murinus,



Boring & Old, Grammostola Aureostriata,



Shy Phormictopus Cancerides,



Hope you guys enjoyed it!!

No, not liangquan's collection, he's in USA atm D:

It's from a close friend of mine who has been keeping for almost 2 years now. D:

yltanisaac,

Dude, honestly speaking for tarantulas, from what I've been doing and observing what people around me are doing. Need not to fear, humidity will never kill a tarantula unless if your ventilation is that bad to the point where it is promoting the growth of fungus and mites.

I know a few buddies of mine that are keeping Pterinochilus Murinus like how they keep their Lampropelma Violaceopes and I've seen how people keep Poecilotheria Regalis as how you would keep a Pterinochilus Murinus. Bone dry for long periods of time before misting.

Even for myself, I used to really abuse the humidity like almost bone dry half the time for my former Theraphosa Blondi. Just make sure you feed them well and provide them with humidity that is not too high nor low and find a way to let them drink, trust me, u'll have no problems at all.

Tarantulas are really like tanks, they seriously are much more hardy unless if you are keeping the slightly tricky ones.
