LOL. Yeah, guess when you overstay your welcome... you just get eaten, haha.

You need more substrate and remove the sharp pointing particles that look like wood chips. Cobalt Blue Tarantula (Haplopelma lividum) is a burrowing specie that needs lots of substrate to burrow in. A Cobalt Blue in the open is certainly stressed and may eventually die if not allowed to burrow. A 1"-2" spiderling will need to burrow even more.

Don't worry, I'm well aware of a sutiable environment for the Cobalt. I got the Cobalt as a surprise gift so I didn't have any terrarium prepared ahead of time; as a result I had to put together a temporary critter carrier with ample supplies.

The critter carrier had 3 inches of substrate (not enough I know but all I head), and the spider eventually made a fully enclosed burrow.

The video was filmed the same day I got the Cobalt; so it was temporary. Thanks for your concern!
