Pterinochilus Murinus 'The Monster'

Still a little nervous sling, but once he had his webbing done he calmed down and settled on the bark. :)
No offense, but you're asking for an escape with that setup. It has made its home up against the opening of the lid - a skittish spider up against an open container is a bad recipe.
 
I agree with EulersK.
As far as I know these little spooders are aggressive and skittish, and I really see it snapping and runnig away at light speed (not correct, a little bit less than c).
 
@EulersK Right, I thought it might take the start burrow I made for it and I'm not happy with its current position. I'll definitely have to rehouse it AGAIN, this is the 3rd time. I don't have adequate enclosures at the moment. I'll have to wait a couple of days until I make another order at my trusted invert shop to get new temp enclosures.
 
@Belinir Man, do as you want, of course :) but listen to me... a normal, maybe a "Dragon" (a nice Germany brand) medium/large KK is perfect for those :-s
 
@Chris LXXIX I like Exo Terra's (They are from the US I guess), I didn't know Dragon was a german brand. By the way, the weird pebble like sand is from Dragon. :D
 
I just like to use really tall cages with top opening and give it a cork near the bottom, so it has less of a chance to web up at the top and gives me more space to work. Pretty scary to rehouse though, good luck!
 
I have three of those folding lid tubs and I've retired them to the cupboard they're just not deep enough, the lids are great though! :)
