Hey guys,
I bought a P.regalis at the BTS Exhibition on 22nd May. I brought it home and put the tub he was in, inside of the ready made enclosure (see pics). He came out that evening on his own accord and the climbed up the cork bark and into the 'living side'. I havnt seen it since! I open to renew the water and to mist when needed. All that it has done is completely block itself in with webbing and substrate. I have broken the webbing this week to check its ok. It looks fine. Abdomens fine and it moved fine when disturbed. I looked again this morning and he's redone the webbing 'block' so I cant see it.
Just want to know is this normal behaviour for these? I have an ornata and that one is usually seen at night roaming round. That also has made a sort of funnel for itself but it comes out for food. I have tried putting cricks on both sides of the enclosure for the regalis but no response. I tried with locusts too but nothing. Never moves, refuses food and hides away??
The regalis is about 9cm legspan, (ill try to get a pic up when i can see it).
Any ideas thoughts suggestions welcome
Cheers
