I know so little about IDing this genus, are there any helpful defining characteristics per species? Wish they were like Arbanitis with every locale looking different!
@RezonantVoid Ive had to buy a taxonomic map related to this family ($40) but am also in the process of possibly having a new sub species identified.
I have kept clear and concise records/photos of subtle differences in the actual door construction as each has its own particular details, this is the easiest way to identify them without a microscope, the doors they make in captivity are not relevant unless they have an appropriate substrate and then they need at least 2-3 years to add the traits in to the build by widening the hole, a fresh door in Coco just doesn't cut it.
I've just received a new microscope plus various endoscopes which I've been waiting for, for ages. Can't wait to be sticking these things in holes

Yea i got myself a bucket of excavated clay from a jobsite that ive got one Variabilis in but i think i mixed too much coco in as it ended up being a bit too tough and she didnt make much of a lid. I cant wait to get them into some proper setups and then id be happy to report any interesting developments as i have 4 Euoplos at this stage
