I’m embarrassed to admit she wanted to love me so much that she bolted out at me right after this and snuck into a space under my sink… I had to rip apart my bathroom cabinetry to get her back

Plenty of sources don’t and those that do are following outdated taxonomy. Cyriopagopus contains the fossorial Ts formerly in Haplopelma (which is invalid), and what you think of as Cyriopagopus (including this thing) - the arboreals - are either in a new genus (Omothymus) or, as in this case, currently unclassified.

Technically, for precision we could use just the umbrella subfamily name. I’m not sure about your hatihati, but mine so far and others I know who have experience with them will say they are largely fossorial if they have the right amount of substrate. I’m not a taxonomist and we don’t have comparative sequencing data for genus-level phylogeny yet, so I’ll just continue using Cyriopagopus for now. I’m not writing any papers

All Ornithoctoninae are fossorial as juveniles and in captive settings if not given appropriate arboreal cover, doesn’t mean all of them are fossorial species.

I’m only referring to a single species behavior. Mine is no juvenile(Almost 6in dls) and stays hidden in its burrow. I have both a mature female C. lividus and mature female O. violaceopes. I’m sure I can determine which species prefers which substrate. My experience with the hatihati is that it’s behavior even at almost adult size it remains fossorial. Even when given the same vertical enclosure and setup originally as my violaceopes.
