[Peter Lacey]

teleport is the word often used for these
Great Ts that love to have both an arboreal and fossorial set-up. Great eaters too.

Fantastic spiders and, as Peter says, will adapt to virtually any sort of environment we give them.
They are very, very quick (though not usually aggressive) and will often "teleport" around (just to freak you out i think )

Still ... if you want to see "quick" then you may want to get yourself a "huntsman" (true spider) in the future .... these make Psalmo's look like they're in "slow-mo"

Thanks for the replys do you know any good care sheets for these .? I have read some, but want make sure I get I right thanks. Gary

A tall tub with climbing material (the tub can be fairly large regarding the size of the sling as they're reasonably active)
Fair amount of substrate so they can adopt a little scrape or burrow if they wish
Temps between 76 -80 would be ok in the day, few degrees drop at night would be beneficial
humidity is not as important as in some arboreals, a light to medium spray once a week for drinking water would suffice
Feeding items can be up to the size of the spiders main body, they're quite voracious when younger, when getting to juvenile size they will do well on adult crickets and an occasional midsized (dubia type) roach.
