i just got a Paragaleodes sp....well looks like that to me, but it's been suggested it's a G. granti, so i'm not sure.
the bloke at the shop called it an Egyptian sunspider, so that's not too helpful.
anyways, i'm wondering if anyone has experience with these amazing little animals?
there's very little pure knowledge and alot of theory about them.
some have said on arachnoboards to feed fairly often, some say feed slowly, and some say to allow for hibernation.
i'm going to try the latter two suggestions, as it seems logical to me that these creatures might "burn out" rather fast, as they're a highly strung type of animal, and seemingly lacking the instinct to stop eating when full.
also, they're meant to be fast and "aggressive"...but mine is slow and shy lol...maybe cause it's only a baby. i put a cricket in, and though the cricket was cleary bricking it, the soli seemed to also be quite unnerved! if the cricket's still in tonight, i'll remove it (or try to).
the bloke at the shop fed it before i got it, and it's about 4 days since then.
anyways, i'm quite chuffed to have such an alien looking animal in my collection, and hope i can give it a comfortable and relatively long life!
