These critters are absolutely insane webbers, and very skittish. Consequently you don’t see them much. I don’t know what the occasion was, but today it bolted up to snag this mealy, then just chilled on top of its web castle munching worm. Just had to share my good fortune.
@mantisfan101 I’m embarrassed to say, I don’t know. I was looking for a true when I bought this and it was more the looks, and the fact that they are heavy webbers that interested me. Consequently, I never researched that question. I can say I’ve never seen mine on the interior of the enclosure. As I stated, they are ridiculously prolific webbers, and that’s where they stay. However, the web basically fills the enclosure, so there’s no where out of reach for them.
If there was one species I could ask for
Of all others
Even C.Fimbriatus
I think I'd pick this one.
I don't believe they can climb smooth surfaces, at least from images Ive seen they appear to have standard mygalomorph feet with little presence of hair tufts on their feet. I think their profuse webbing helps them overcome the hurdle of glass. The only group of primitive spiders I know that can climb smooth surfaces is Barychelidae, and these are Dipluridae I believe. I'm probably wrong about both of those facts
