Orphnaecus sp blue

[Crotalid]

Getting a couple of slings later this week, just wondering how i should keep these?

While we're at it, I am also getting T.gigas, are they similar in care to P.irminia that i already have?

Thanks

"I set them up in vials, gave them half substrate with a plastic leaf in to the center for climbing and webbing. They have tunnels all the way down and web tunnels all the way up and sit at the top most of the time. They're great eaters too. Feeding time is usually a quick flash and the feeder is gone."

Info from 2012 by Advan. He said he also keeps his moist.

Essentially the same as Haplo's then.

Anyone know about the gigas?

I have both which I keep mine like advans even though mine acts like a terrestrial, they don't get very big and are one of my more relaxed OW. Mine doesn't stay blue but their normal colors are pretty nice, a lot of gold highlights.

As for T.gigas I will wet some sub a few times a month and provide mine with a larger cage as they can be spooked easily and I feel the extra room allows me my working space and the spider her safe space. My female has become more bold with size and will actually come out to investigate when I open her cage now instead of hiding. Besides that provide them with a decent amount of dirt and cork as they will utilize both in their home making, pretty much like a psalmo.

What are the actual colours of "panay blue"? So far i have seen females that are dark blood red (advans pics), and the purple/bluey colouration. Then the males I have seen are a sort of gold/brown colour. Not a whole lot of info about this species out there.

There's two blue Philippine Orphs. The bluest one is from Cebu.

Here is a picture of my 3 inch one, mine never really shows blue but this picture is pretty much the color it is all the time. Mine has been hiding for 2 months so I assume a molt soon.
