I know very little about them, but I'm interested in learning more. Arboreal or terrestrial? Size? Appetite? Burrower? Any info would be greatly appreciated......

Yeah they're very easy if you're talking about the pachypus. Mine's got a burrow in all 4 corners of her little critter keeper, and the entire middle is webbed. Only problem is, she webs over her water dish and I have to tear it up to find it. If I try to just moisten the substrate for her, the webbing is so thick that the water just runs right down into her burrows. Not a big deal just kinda funny.
She's super docile once you get her away from her burrow. Like most burrowing spiders, she'll defend her home pretty aggressively but that's about it, I've held her plenty of times. The back legs are super soft and fluffy.
She's also got pretty much the exact opposite behavior of ever other burrower that I have. While most retreat into their burrows at the slightest disturbance, mine will come out to "investigate" whatever it is that's going on. Kinda funny.
This is one species that I've been on the fence with the idea of having. They are a beautiful spider, but it's that pet-hole thing that gets me. If they generally behaved like yours, I'd definately get one at some point.She's also got pretty much the exact opposite behavior of ever other burrower that I have.
