3",Juvi. no borrows, and prefer vertical set ups, more a forestial set up. some ground web but nothing visible. prefer a 50%-30% humidity set up, a bit skittish, and throws a treat posture but no bites, urticating hairs?
Looks like a Paraphysa sp. to me, probably P. scrofa, aka the Chilean copper. At 3", it's likely to be an adult as they do not get very large. Very similar in care to G. rosea. They do have urticating hairs but I have never seen one kick them. Most things I have read say they are very docile, but the two I have had have been skittish. Commonly flashing threat displays when disturbed...I would call them "moody". Similar in temperament to many of the G. rosea I've encountered. I guess this makes sense due to the fact that they come from the same area. They do not prefer a vertical set up. It is likely spending its time climbing the side of its enclosure because of the moist substrate. It must be completely dry or they will refuse to spend time on it.
