H. Arizonensis eating sand

I was admiring my Arizonensis last night and I noticed him using his chelicerae to dig or losen the dirt. After he would use his front legs to move the dirt. He was doing this to the sand and the glass itself. Is this something that commonly happens in the wild. I have never seen chelicerae used for anything but cleaning and eating.

yeah, ive seen them do this before. i wouldnt worry about anything

this is nornal for me to see with all my desert specie.

Sometimes i even seen my barks do this from time to time, but not as much as my deserts.

did you collected ya H.a.

Yup. I was getting a little upset that I live in AZ and didn't have a H.a.

is this the big girl from the spot i told u to go to?

I am thinking sand is a good cleaning agent to remove food items from the chelicerae
