PHOTOS
Photos June 17, 2018.  Has been out playing around with decor lately.  She is an elegant beauty.
Photo on January 10, 2018.  Tarantula had not eaten so I coaxed it out of its burrow to check on it.

Photos on October 29, 2017. Tarantula  has been underground for months. Not sure when I saw it last.  I removed it from the burrow it had made about three inches below the surface so I could change out the substrate.

CARE
This is a terrestrial tarantula with some burrowing instincts.
I am keeping this tarantula at ~  74-82°  F. and 65% humidity as per advice from K8inverts.
  Two times DLS (diagonal leg span) of substrate for it to burrow.
