Kukulcania hibernalis

PVC pipe cut into small sections works too.

 

That would be perfectly fine. These are very simple spiders and don't leave their webs, the larger the enclosure, the larger the web though

 

They usually don't move fast but if startled they can move fairly fast but usually just wander slowly.

 

Adult females molt about once a year.

It's doable, but I like to give them more space for webbing.

They are slow and clumsy outside of their webs, especially on a smooth surface like glass or plastic. In their webs, they are faster and more graceful, but their speed is nothing compared to some of the web-building tarantulas.

 

If you buy/capture them, try to get younger ones as I've found adults are often difficult to acclimate. When they do, though, they're great captives. Voracious eaters despite their tiny fangs and mild venom!

 

I keep two of these, adult females - one housed in a glass mason jar and the other in a plastic container thats taller than it is wide - in both enclosures i added plastic plants to web around and they both are incredibly happy and well off/well fed. i recently rehoused one to a shorter but wider enclosure with more of a grounded feel, she seems happy even still. (vouch they do seem to take a while to get comfortable)

 

What happened to it?

 

Are you sure it's a death curl and not just a stress curl?

 

These spiders seem pretty resistant to dehydration, but it can't hurt to try giving her a little more water. Place a few drops in front of her.

 

Post a picture in about a year, and see how she has covered everything in webbing.

 

agreed, it'll literally web everything until it looks almost like strands of cotton everywhere.
