My jaw hit the floor when i saw photos of what this thing's burrow looks like. It makes an extended tube, either vertically against a rock or horizontally on the underside of a log, and then builds a wide semicircle of mud around the lid. Absolutely remarkable and gonna be awesome to try and replicate

I'm surprised the usual crew of tossers haven't jump on and tried to berate you like they do most other members who upload picks of them handling spiders yet mate.

Difference with these is they lack scintillating scopula pads on their feet and therefore the ultra sensitive foot hair that causes T's to get stressed from picking them up. Barychelidae are an exception to that rule so I'll never pick those up, but almost all Idiopidae will voluntarily crawl into your hand if placed in front of them, have don't carry the large risks with them that T's do when you scoop them up!
Blakistonia are awesome, I have some particularly cool leaflid slings I'll send you a few of if you're interested
