Hi can any tell me if they own cyriocosmia and if so what are they like.
I know they are small.. But what are they really like and what ones are common in the hobby.
Cheers.

Hi, I assume you mean Cyriocosmus? If so then I own a C. elegans juvie/sub adult and it's a cracking little spider. Really good eaters, like to burrow and my wife likes it which is rare, lol!
C. elegans, C. bertae, C. leetzi and C. perezmilesi are usually available at various times of the year. They seem to be more commonly bred in Germany than the UK so you may have to look further afield to get some of them.

Yes sorry for spelling mistakes..
It's a pitty they are not more bred over here as they look good,
Did you have trouble finding yours?.

I got it at the BTS show this year. Like a lot of species they come about every now and then, you just need the keep your eyes peeled. I noticed the spider shop are selling C bertae just now and someone was selling C. elegans slings on reptileforums.co.uk recently.
