          Heterothele villosella (Amani chestnut long spinnert baboon) 'among many other commoin names' range East Africa Tanzania (Strand 1907)

          And thats about all I know about them except they are small when adult and can be kept in a community I have never kept this sp before so I dont know the habits etc heres a link to a review by Guy Tansley of this sp


          There are also photographs of adults in the Theraphosidae galley of this website

            BTW, last year, there has been published an article about this species in the BTS Journal:
            • WEIGAND, A. (2003): Tarantulas Can be Gentleman too – How Tarantulas Court! British Tarantula Society Journal 19(1): 4-8.

            all the best,
            Martin

                      Feeding dead T's to live

                      That could cause real problems What if the dead T died of some internal bacterial or fungal infection? Remember what happened in Mad Cow Disease?
