Default My B. Auratum

Hi guys, finally got pics uploaded.

As she(?) arrived from BTS show.



Sized above 2p coin and my nail,,



Her new enclosure (she's hiding in the corner)







She has been digging extensively, and before i left for work, she was completely under the branch. She hasnt been in the hide yet, so I may need a rethink on that idea. I will update on her new grand design soon,,hope you like,,,

Does it freak spiders out like it does snakes if the enclosure is too big??

Ah yeah i suppose. I got worried then as i have my sling in a relatively large viv for its size but it never misses a feed so i needent worry lol. He took another bug last night and even let me get him out for pics today whilst i cleaned his viv. He leaves bug remains everywhere.

The viv is maybe a little deceptive. It has a glass partition half way. Each half is just a little bigger than a credit card. The floor space is give or take the same as the tub she was sold to me in.
She eats well and now she has dug her own home under the twig, she looks very cosy in her little nook.
I have taken some pics today and I'll upload and publish soon.

I cant wait until she moults to reveal her colours for the 1st time. Thats why I got one so small.
I'm guessing she is about 1yr old, I got her from BTS show for £8. Any ideas if the age would be about right?
