Ephebopus murinus

0.1 sub-adult, molted couple weeks ago.
How aggressive/defensive are these? I heard mixed reports... :)
 
I love this species! :happy:

@Shampain, my experience is only with slings thus far, but I would not describe them as aggressive at all but they are definitely skittish and zip back into their burrows if they sense movement and extra care should be taken when rehousing (I do so in the bathroom tub and with the door closed) as they are quite likely to zip away during this process. :eek:

They are definitely not "pet holes" -- I see mine out nearly every day. :)
 
@Shampain They're pretty defensive/skittish T's, A little touch and mine either rears up to attack or teleports, never witnessed it flicking hairs form the palps though. At night I can often find it out of its burrow grooming and what not.
 
That is a true beauty nice pic :) how did you get it to sit still. hehe:D
