• These buggers are also feisty, hardy and bold.

• You will not be disappointed with this species.

• Keep one-half of the substrate in the terrarium dry. 

• Mist the other side once every two weeks. 

Enclosure: 

• For a spiderling use vial that will allow at least 7cm of substrate for burrowing and 7cm as sub-adult-adult in a small terrarium.

Retreat/Hide: 

• Because this is an opportunistic burrower, place a bark for a starter burrow hide. 

Food Consumption: 

• Feed slings twice a week.

• Feed adults once a week.

• Food size should be the size of the carapace.

• This specie is a excellent eater. 

Water Requirements: 

• Keep a water dish in the cage.

• The growth rate of this species is fast. 

Adult Size: 

• There are two morphs, and one gets larger than the other.

• One doesn't get over 5cm and the other grow between 7-10cm.

Temperament: 

• This is a docile but skittish specie.
