Especially my salmon pink she is just greedy!!
Good caresheet type thing here:
Arachnofreaks Forum: Grammastola aureostriata

I've just had a look on arachnopets for a care sheet for a golden knee and it says they are a burrower. I don't give it that much substrate for it to burrow would I have stressed it out? It eats ok and seems fine, I will move it into another tank when I get home that has deeper substrate in it. How much do you think I should put in? The bigger tank can take about 4-5inches in depth

Ive just read up on this spid on the spidershop website and it says that they spend their time out in the open not in burrows. Now I'm totally confused should I put more substrate in the tank or should I just leave it as it is? As it is it has a hide and about 2 inches maybe 3 of substrate

Can put more in. Mines only got shallow sub but a huge piece of bark to hide under, which she has dug the substrate away and she hides in it. But she is out a lot too
I'd say give her the option.
