Pseudhapalopus sp kurzhaar

[Spinnenfritzi]

I searched the forums and only found really old threads about this species.
I think sp kurzhaar looks really nice but i can't find much about it.

Do you have one? What's your experience with it?
Thinking behaviour, care, looks etc...

Any species with this genus I’ve owned or asked breeders about are very slow growers, some are glacially slow.

So if that’s an issue definitely ask an experienced breeder/seller on this one.

you'd say even slower then my H. chilense sling?

Yes- my H’s grew much faster!

Nope, sorry - I had Pseudhapalopus sp Colombia, but he matured and is off hopefully making babies. Also, that is now assumed to belong in Spinosatibiapalpus instead of Pseudhapalopus... Either way, I believe @viper69 is correct in that these are very slow growing. Their temperament isn't supposed to be bad, though, and it would be an interesting species to keep.

True

Thank you for your responses. I think i will add the species to my collection.
Not that it matters for my decision, but there seems to be not much interest on the Genus in general on the web.

They can reach maturity in 5 years.
