Yes! It eats great and has webbed itself a nice tube in the corner of an all acrylic enclosure so I can see it all the time. Beautiful little critter. I am really coming to like the arboreals a lot more than I used to because they sit where I can see them lol. When I first started collecting ten years or so ago I was still enthralled that I could handle some species and got a kick out of having pets that many are terrified of. Now, I really don't care anything about handling and prefer more to have them on display where I can look at them at all times of the day and night.

Nice! I love the genus. They're very hardy so I don't anticipate you'll have many problems. One thing that's sort of interesting to observe is their habit of moonlighting as a terrestrial spider (despite their body form). You'll find they have no problem's digging tunnels, dirt curtains, and hanging around the bottom of the tank. Right now I've only got a pulcher but have kept cambridgei and irminia. I never found any of mine to be particularly defensive, just a bit jumpy, and they certainly are fast. Starting with slings helped me get used to that.
