I've really wanted to get into Liphistius spp and the other trapdoor mygalomorphs, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet. There are some really cool species out there, even some US natives like Cyclocosmia torreya.Added this really interesting specimen this weekend...

Newly acquired, rehoused today. Approximately 1.25-1.5" DLS. I felt terrible tearing up it's...
I took a few pics when rehousing it, because once of recreates it's burrow and trapdoor in the new enclosure I'll likely never see it out again for longer than the blink of an eye. Their behavior fascinates me, and I hope I'm able to observe it and work with it for a good amount of time - it's legspan is 1.5" max, so still has a bit of growing to do.
