Holothele Longipes (Trinidad Pink) Care?

[HumidElk525633]

I haven’t been able to find any care vids on this species and searched Holothele longipes and Trinidad pink on the website and nothing came up. Any care advice would be appreciated as I am thinking of purchasing a sling of this species at around 1”.

Hi
great species choice and 1 inch is good size.
Care is nothing special similar to any new world terrestrial sling(good reference in regards of care is Neoholothele incei).Moist substrate and hide.They are very,VERY fast so take care during maintenance and rehouse.
Regards Konstantin

Thank you! I’ll try to find a good care vid for the trinidad olive since I can’t find one for the Trinidad pink

You can have a look at Tom's Big Spiders channel. His sling guides are very good for general sling husbandry.

I've had a sling I got at about 1.5 inches or less since late May. Fastest spider I've dealt with it pretty much teleports I can never predict when/how it will move, it has molted once with me but didn't put on much size. Loves to hide I gave it two hides one cork bark and one fake leaf. I noticed it likes moisture and I catch it hanging near the moist moss but it will hang out where it's dry too, one thing I've noticed is it likes food on the smaller side and it doesn't eat a whole lot.
