ive tried researching everything ab it
even in wikipedia theres barely even anything to it so
apparently its a ground mud spider or as known as cryptothele sp
i just got it from a market for 5$, i thought it looked pretty cool so i bought it since its so cheap. the one i own is only around 2cm in leg span, either its just a microspider or it is still a baby im not quite sure. can anyone tell me about a caresheet about spiders like this and how to take care of them bcs im only used on tarantulas. judging from how it looks it probably prefers the enclosure to be damp or moist..

If you don't get other confirmed info, I'd recommend a gradient of moisture -- make one side of the enclosure damp, keep the other side dry, and see where it chooses to stay. I suspect it can eat anything you'd feed a T the same size.

No clue I’d like to see it as an adult! Probably eats the same thing as any other spider.
