Psalmopoeus Ecclesiasticus

[Cavite Arachnids]

Hi Everyone, I tried to find some care sheet or guides based on experience from keepers of this sp. here on arachnoboards and other reliable pages and person. The thing is our country is a hot one (Philippines) and based on what I know , this sp. is hard to care off here in our country. I have a sling and it's been fasting for more than a month and still not molting, I have this sling for two months, some of my friends sling died for unknown reason. I would like to ask if they're really that slow growers and hard to molt? What actions can we do so they can live better and we can grow them. Please help. Thanks in advance

Keep them like any other Psalmopeous...damp sub, something to climb on and get under, some plants and that's it.

Psalmopeous are all fast growers. If it was plumped very quickly, it will hide away in pre molt for a good while.

I have a subadult female that I raised from a sling. I keep her a little more moist than my other Psalmos as they don't seem to be as drought tolerant as the rest of the genus. They do grow a bit slower than other species from the genus but I wouldn't exactly call them slow-growing, expect slings to moult roughly once every couple of months or so, my female currently moults every 5-6 months.

Thanks for the feedbacks guys! Coz me and my friends are now worried because they're off-feed for more than a month, not moving an inch and still not molting unlike our other psalmo sp. we have irminia, cambridgei, reduncus, pulcher and victorii whose doing well. We're not known if someone makes successfully grow an adult of ecclesiasticus so all information are well-noted.
