I hadn't seen mine in about 2 weeks so I got nervous and dug into its burrow to make sure it was alive. Im sure it didnt appreciate that. Actually I know it didn't because it ran out on my hand.
Im relieved its ok though :). I had to relocate it because the shotglass I had it in was too big. I got it in a small vial now. I just wanted to ask you guys if this was ok.




Heres the shotglass I originally had it in before he charged me,



He took a break on my hand so I took a picture while I could.


The substrate Im using is a combination of coconut husk and peat moss that I chopped up to be much more fine with some scissors. I made the substrate a little damp as well.
I was told these guys were suppose to grow really fast but he seems to be growing very slowly. Even more slowly then my B.smithi sling. Not sure if Im doing some wrong here or hes just a late bloomer :)

Our two C. perez seem to be a growing normally, we got them in September and they've each molted once already. They're about the size of yours maybe smaller. My only suggestion is a bit more substrate. A fall at that size would most likely not do anything, but I've noticed with ours that they like to climb all over the place. Good luck with your little guy.

Anyone know what the actual full-grown adult size is of a C. perezmilesi? (And that's a cutie little speck of a baby, by the way.)

Mine hasn't been much of a climber. It usually burrows.
I think the full size is like 3 inchs or something. Im not sure at all.

Embarrassed to say I've never heard of the species. New world? Old world? Arboreal? Terrestrial? Hails from...?

Heres the live search translation,

The Bolivian dwarf mygale (cyriocosmus perezmilesi) is a species of mygale living in Bolivia. Although she was discovered before, is that in 2007 that its scientific name has been assigned. Previously, she was known as "Cyriocosmus sp." "Bolivia".
Summary [Hide]
1 2 3 4 Card Description [edit] farmed behavior food description
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi is very colourful despite its small size. The back of his abdomen is color dark with blue accents with a golden spot. Paws are blue. Its carapace is a golden uniform colour.
Food [edit]
As all species of this genus, its power is made entirely of insects that it catches manually. It is not unusual to see this mygale tackle larger it prey.


[Edit] behavior
This mygale is very docile and safe, it does almost never mord. Unlike his cousin Cyriocosmus elegans it is a little calmer nature and tends less to the brain.
Card [edit] farmed
This species requires very little space and maintenance. A "deli cup" type plastic container is perfectly suitable for adult specimens. Since this mygale lives under the Earth, it is recommended to have a good wet substrate composed land or fairly deep coconut fiber so that she can dig his shelter. An ambient temperature above 20 degrees Celsius is necessary. It must also ensure that the Earth is slightly damp at any time.
