Augacephalus ezendami

[Cemykay]

How do you keep your Augacephalus sp.? I read that they are from Mozambique, do you set them up partly moist?
I got three of them and i keep them a bit more moist than my other harpactirinae. Pictures or the species and set-up are appreciated

 

[cold blood]

dry, even as slings

How was their growth rate?

How was their growth rate?

As slings, they are poor eaters and slow growers...once they get to maybe 2", everything changes and they become excellent eaters and growth rates really pick up.

as slings- owned 1- THE WORST eater ever. So bad I haven’t tried again for years..for now

I don't keep these species, but I love Africa, keep them the way they would exist naturally, to know how much moisture they need. Dont spray water, drip it down on side until it dries, I prefer a water dish to add humidity
Tarantulas are easy to take care of, I hope you have fun : )

Dang I want one of these. I hope yours grow well

Really? All three of mine are really good eaters. All of the maybe 1,5cm(don't know inch conversion) dls

Thank you for your reply! I am familiar with basic tarantula husbandry though . I was just asking because there is not much husbandry information about this species.

This is one of them:

I had two slings. They was eating very good. When reached ~one inch, both suddenly died.

It's a pretty tarantula , if theres a lack of care sheets on this species, i would research them in the wild and copy that, especially if no one here knows the species specific requirments

Not a bad idea but some ppl here definitely know about them

If so, this person is wanting info, I dont keep these

I gave the info the op asked for.

And I do keep them and have bred them several times.

You pay? I go!

unless @cold blood has any corrections i would say it would be logical to keep them the same as other fossorial species from the same locale eg: Ceratogyrus Marshalli, Ceratogyrus meridionalis, etc - alls i know is it’s on the top of my “to-get” list

They just showed up in the classifieds

So mostly dry? I will keep you updated on their growth

yes, tho Mozambique + Zimbabwe have a rainy season 2-3 months a year but generally yes

 

[Kibosh]

Dry. Keep similar to I. Mira and Ceratogyrus sp.

A. ezendami was actually my first OW T. Mine made an impressive dirt tower right in the middle of it's enclosure. I will also concur with a few of the others though that it had a pretty weak feeding response as a sling.

I think you should listen to @cold blood in regards to these T,s.He has actually kept,raised ,and produced these .
Take any advise from people who “heard from a guy in a Lift ride,that he knows a guy whose sister had one”, with a great deal of skepticism.
