That's right. They're typical Lasiodora in behavior and temperament IME: mildly defensive and good eaters. Mine isn't kept in a burrowing set-up, so I can't advise on that, but I haven't noticed uch earth-moving. I use dry substrate, a large water dish, and a restricted ventilation and have never experienced any problems.Originally posted by ArachnoJoost
Don't know about the care, but as far as I know the name has been changed to Lasiodora cristata
Are you talking about the species described by Mello-Leitão in 1923 or about the one in the pet trade? If you are talking about the one sensu Mello-Leitão 1923 you are right, but the one in the pet trade needs some further studies. See the post of R.
