I just found out these things get larger than tiny, so I'd like to know a little bit more about them. No reason. ;)

Are they visible/do they stay in a hole or under a rock all the time?
It seems like there would be all kinds of ways to measure these things; which dimension do sellers use in ads?
What's the average full size, in terms of the span of the claws (closed) and the front-to-back body length? (in other words, the two parts of the "T")
How long does it take to reach that size?
Are they handleable? (if so, how much?)
What size enclosure do they require?

this is all for Damon variegatus/diadema, of course

thanks
