As you can see In my other thread, Ive caught a spider that I know now is Scotophaeus blackwalli.
I want to keep it captive, because they seem a bit more active then a similis, but I cant find anything on what setup i should keep it in.
Any help ?
here's some pictures of him/her.

While Amaurobius similis is a sedentary, web building spider, Scotophaeus blackwalli (being a Gnaphosidae) is an active hunter which uses his web only for building retreats. He doesn't really need a special setup: moist substrate and a piece of bark is enough. Nothing too complicated.
By the way try giving him some water.:)
