psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus

[jmod]

Hi All,

Long time reader, first time poster.

A couple of quick questions about the psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus. This one has me really interested and it would be our first psalmopoeus. I am just curious of a few pieces:
1. Anyone have some good care tips on them? I haven't found a ton of info out there.
2. I am trying to get at the name on this one. Has anyone seen where the name originates from?

Thanks all!

care is the same as any Psalmo, with the exception that they arent as drought tolerant, so keep the sub damp.

am trying to get at the name on this one.

You have the name posted...Psalmopeous ecclesiasticus....its the only name that matters.

1. Anyone have some good care tips on them? I haven't found a ton of info out there.

I have an adult female that I raised from a sling.

Same setup as other Psalmopoeus species. Enough sub so that they can burrow if they choose to, wide vertical bark piece, plant cover around the base of the bark, and a water dish. Examples below.



They're not as drought tolerant as the rest of the genus though so keep the sub slightly moist and don't let it fully dry out for long periods.

Couple pics of my female.

What's their disposition like and photosensitivity like relative to the others?

What's their disposition like and photosensitivity like relative to the others?

She was skittish and bolty as a sling/small juvie (they're ridiculously fast, even by Psalmo standards) but she developed an attitude once she hit around 3", she's probably my most cranky Psalmo. I wouldn't say she's photosensitive, she doesn't spaz out at bright lights like my Pokies do and I do see her out during the day.
