heres 1 of my other Nebo's, these guys can be quite defensive if disturbed, as seen in the pics they never stop digging and are kind of slow growers, great eaters, beautiful colour:

4th instar Nebo's habitat:

i was warned:

Great pic's!!! I have a ''glenelva'' Sling,and was wonderig about the moisture content of the substrate. Do they prefer damp or dry? Thanks for the pic;s-Later-Karl:?

 

[opticle]

hey Karl, the Glenelva you have is probably and most likley a selenotholus Gemfields, the same in my pic. they are an arid(desert) species and will prefer the substrate dry, but make sure you have a water dish with it, they will construct a deep burrow around 10cm if you allow them but in the wild they can construct ones around 2metres long. a slow growing species (probably 1 of the slowest in Australia) so it will take a while for them to molt. i understand Glenelvas get to around 8cm and Gemfields 14cm, they are both found in the same area thats why theres alot of confusion about these species.

I just got into Aussie T's.
I am glad I did

 

[opticle]

awesome fartkowski, what sp did you choose?

 

[fartkowski]

So far I got Selenotypus plumipes and Selenocosmia crassipes.
Hopefully I will be getting some more soon

 

[opticle]

hey man don't mean to sound like a tightass but selenocosmia dosen't belong to aussie T's anymore, its now phlogius. so you have a phlogius crassipes but nice choice they both get large them plumipes are beautiful with hairy hind legs

 

[fartkowski]

Oh ok cool Thanks for the info, I really appreaciate it.
I like to have all my guys labeled properly.
Looks like I'll have to look for a few more now
