Nhandu chromatus Questions

[FishermanSteve]

It may be hard because you’re a new keeper and it’s normal to want to check on them every 2 hrs, but try and give your ts a full 24 hrs without interruption. I find that my ts settle in very quickly as long as they aren’t bothered.

Nhandu chromatus aren't particularly known for webbing. Actually, my two males were heavy burrowers, and my female hasn't done much of anything. These guys often get described as good display species

I have a 3inche nhandu chromatus and she hasn't webbed at all since I got her ..am I doing something wrong ? Is she not happy?

They usally dont webb much and i am sure she is webbing but you cant see the thin lines? N chromatus usally doesnt webb much as i said

Ive raised hundreds of chromatus....the only web ive seen was when making a bolus or a MM making a sperm web. Dont expect to ever see it do much webbing.

I've had her for 5 days

All new Ts take a while to get used to a new home, and not all Ts web a lot. They are all Ts, but they are not clones

As an example I have 2 Avics, they are sac mates. Upon rehousing, one made a massive spiral tube web, its sacmate has made nothing so far.

Yep, my experience reflects most of the above. I’ve had mine over a year, and I’m not sure if it’s spinnerets even work.

I have merged the questions about this Nhandu chromatus into one thread. Carry on.

Thank you lol I am still completely in love with her as she is already (she's 3 inches) the prettiest little spider I've ever seen in person ...but was just curious on why the internet would lie to me lmfao haha

The internet would lie to you for either it's own benefit or because some people can't measure their spiders correctly.
