Tapinauchenius elenae

[Bryan_Dennis]

Hello Everyone..I've been trying to get some info on Tapinauchenius elenae.

It's not that i want a full write ala care sheet or anything like that just a few simple facts will do, like ideal temp / humidity or simply a pointer to another more well known specie who's requirements are about the same..

So far all i've really been able to find is tons of pictures followed by "wow" and "cool" but no information..

I've tried on another Forum but the lack of response has got me thinking that my question is maybe to "bone" for anyone to be bothered to answer........is it?

Hi Bryan

Just had a look round the web and you're right there's not a lot of info.

Have found a few facts (some you may be aware of) just for the interim, and hopefully someone on this forum who keeps this species will clarify or alter this info to suit.

Arboreal species.
temp 75 - 85 F
humidity 75 - 85%

species ascertained as native to Equador, so i would imagine browsing the net further for climate conditions of this area (and surounding) will give further info on the conditions to keep your spider.

not a lot to offer, but i hope this helps out
