I get the feeling my B.albopilosum isn't very happy with its substrate. Seeing as I couldn't find any peat, the substrate is currently cacti compost (80% peat, 20% sand and potting soil) with bark chips mixed in.
Theres also a peice of cork bark half buried in the substrate, with the substrate piled on top of it to make an "upper level".
The tarantula is under its retreat occasionally, but spends most of its time on the upper level.
It has made very little attempt to burrow, and rarely is seen in its retreat, more often halfway up the upper-level, resting against the side of the tank. The heat mat has been placed under the upper level, covering just under half of the tank. Is something wrong with the tarantula's behaviour?
Any suggestions/advise or comments, would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you, HitokiriSessha.
