    3:19 Notice the dark patch underneath that layer of substrate down the hole is moist. It must be a cooler environment down there than the surface temps. Am guessing the temps down there should be around the 70°F or 21.111°C at least.

    8:48 I kept on reviewing the soil texture so I can house two of my well priced juvenile queens in em. Probably order myself a bunch of southern red clay from eBay here in the USA, and mix em up with other organic amendments such as natural topsoil with no fertilizers or pesticides. I use to work with red clay soil before back in the Philippines as a teenager, digging through our backyard creating our very own vegetable garden for my family to enjoy. I think I will add more sand and organic top soil for a better texture, because red clay at its purest form isn't really nutrient rich in it by itself for plats to grow. I will probably wet the red clay first in its liquid form, then add more red sand and topsoil so I can acquire the right texture 🤔 Both of my queens are already housed inside their very own deep burrowing container with just top soil. I will probably dig them both out and house em in a temporary enclosure once I have my red clay mix all ready for them to dig. I got some brain storming going on Lol!

    God I’d love to go abroad and observe tarantulas in the wild, have had a collection for almost 8 years now, to see them in the wild would be quite something!
    One thing I might suggest in terms of getting glamour shots, to briefly stop them from running back into their respective retreat/burrow, you could block the entrance with a moveable object like a flat piece of bark for example, to keep it out in the open so you can move it afterwards and allow the spider to return home.
    Good technique I learned about from Steve Backshall.
