This is probably a stupid question but are there any tarantula species (currently available in the U.S. hobby) that specifically live in caves or at least have been found living in caves?

I ask because I saw a short video on Youtube about the Bohol Caves in the Philippines and it featured a tarantula genus (Selenocosmia maybe?) as one of the many invertebrate inhabitants living in the caves.

I saw the same thing. I would love to own one.

If I recall, they are completely eyeless.

Pretty sure I've seen pics of people in Europe ( probably Poland) with specimens.
