But it will grow to be smaller, so the tank can be downgraded.
Hey, Troi! I got one of these as a tiny sling (.25") a month ago. I've got it in a well-ventilated vial with about 1.5" of moist substrate. I allow it to dry out on the top a bit before re-moistening. I made a couple little channels down the side of the enclosure with a toothpick, and I carefully dribble some water down them and let it soak down to the bottom to keep the lower levels suitably moist. I also moisten the sphagnum moss on the surface once a week.I'm looking for information for Acanthoscurria sp. "Maldonadoensis"
I can't seem to find any online. :-(
Please and thank you!
I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm curious if there are any updates after this little nugget grew up. OP did you end up getting one? More curious on enjoyment of owning, size, feisty level, etc.Hey, Troi! I got one of these as a tiny sling (.25") a month ago.

After eating once (a pre-killed cricket that was a big as the sling), it burrowed straight down to the bottom, built a little chamber there, and covered up the entrance. After about three weeks, it molted, and it's now about 1/2" or so. Within a few days of molting, it reopened its burrow, so I dropped another pre-killed cricket by the entrance. By morning, it was gone. I just fed it again last night. The temps in my room are about 75 now for reference. So far, it's eating very well, and the growth rate seems good.
Hope that helps! I'm very curious to see what this little guy looks like when he puts on some size.
