umm... it's arboreal... pretty common species.

none of my Psalmopoeus species have been overly arboreal, often tending to sit on the glass touching the substrate.

Yeah, I've also found that they aren't strictly arboreal, when i have had psalms in the past they have tended to web quite close to the substrate at the bottom of their tanks.

Ditto. My 5.5" girl lives in a half pipe against the back of the cage. She even did a good deal of excavating. An ill tempered thing! Psalmos are full of p*ss and vinegar! Sometimes she wil seal herself in, others there is no webbing at all. Go figure.

Agreed here too. My P irminia prefers to hide most of the time in a little "cave" I set up for her. She hasn't attempted to teleport since I made her the hide.
