This was a spider I added to an order to get a specific freebie. I didn’t find much information about it, but it’s turned out to be one of my favorites. Amazing tunnels, beautiful webs, great feeding response! Has grown moderately fast, having gone from 1/2” to 1” in about 6 months.
I keep them with lots of damp substrate so they can burrow. Tbh, I almost never see them. Lol. What I like about them is that they are a dwarf species, and voracious as hell.

I know this is an old post but I think it's interesting that you rarely saw yours. Mine is completely out 99% of the time. She (idk if it's a she), is always crawling on the side of the enclosure and webbing. She has damp substrate and a cork bark hide with a starter burrow. She hides a bit near the hole by some Sphagnum moss every once in a while, but she likes to be out. And her substrate isn't wet, it's damp on one side and dryer on the other but not completely dry, because I thought of everything thinking of why she doesn't burrow, but I guess it's her personality. Idk. She's just under 1 inch.
I came here to see if this species is "semi" arboreal, maybe terrestrial but could be housed either way. But to my surprise I found this thread and yours burrowed. She hasn't molted in my care yet, so, I'll see if maybe she starts burrowing after she molts since their personalities change sometimes after molts.
