Ok so picked up one of these a few days ago and just wondering if anyone can throw some light and infor this way?
I've tried looking about online, and so far all I can get is...
Acanthoscurria chacoana (Bolivian Salmon pink)
Terrestrial
Semi defensive
7"
Will burrow if given ample substrate.
So whilst that tells me what I need to keep the animal alive, it's still abit sparse. I do know its on the voracious side as it took an adult lobster roach within 2 hours of being house. (total accident that it fell off my hand when being fed to another T and slipped under the encloser lid) Since then it has also happily taked another two roaches. Though for a terrestrial species it acts abit odd. The hunting behaviour seems almost similar to trapdoors, if a roach comes to the hide entrance then out shoots a bolt of dark lightning. But soon as the roach moves away, then back into the burrow heads the spider.
