Venom - higher than most T's (Diplura), Growth - Medium fast, Terrestrial - webs like snow fall, Gender - Both the same colors. You can sex them ventrally like T's. Just Google ventral sexing Linothele and there is a photo with a clear shot of both sexes next to one another. Do not let the substrate go bone dry with these, keep 1/4 of the sub moist. I do not use a water dish with these since they web over everything, I just pour a little water on their web. Keep warm 75-90. Enjoy! Great species! Get to about 5" (females).

Defensive?

Very fast?

Is their venom close to a widow's?

Thanks for all the info @Ran
