Neoholothele fasciaaiurinirga

Does anyone own a neoholothele fasciaaiurinirga? I just acquired a 1 1/2" female and I could use some husbandry advice.
Thanks

Keep em like incei.

Lots of anchor points, cover, dampened sub and water dish.

Thanks for the advice, it's always good to get different opinions.

I'll never own this species out of fear of trying to pronounce the species name.

That's just rediculous and unforgivable

Yeah, they're fancy incei. Mine is in a jug about half full of substrate and topped with a pile of cork bark slabs. She's made web tubes between the cork layers and a burrow down into the substrate where she puts her trash.

100% someone named it to watch people attempt to pronounce it. I would be amused.

Not exactly. This species is more sensitive than incei, and harder to breed than incei according to only person I'm aware of in N. America who bred them successfully, and only once.

My observations are consistent with the info I received from a breeder who had 15 or so. They web less than incei and tend to burrow more.

They prefer it warmer than incei actually. My AF, is a pethole. I almost never see her unless, I think I've seen her once on her own unprodded by me. I quite honestly thought she was dead at one point. Only to find an old exo, a bunch of boli and a fat abdomen. I was of course pleased to observe this. She's doing well so far.

I waited years to obtain this species ever since I saw it on Rick West's site.

It basically translates to “black and gold stripes,” so it makes sense.

So, just like I keep everything...lol.

There has to be a shorter and easier to pronounce word that translates to black and yellow
