  • Harpactirella lightfooti and Harpactira sp. Roberstson housing

    Recently acquired adult females of these two. Can find only limited info. I have set them up as per my Heterothele villosella: 3 cm dry coconut substrate, several tiny cork bark slabs to burrow under, a small lid for a water dish and some dry but live moss scattered around to incorporate into their eventual housing. Will this work well enough for them or should I have them in deeper substrate? I'm keeping them rather dry as I do the H. villosella and my Pterinochilus murinus. Temps should never rise above 27C but may go to 19C if I move them from the flexwatt. Will they be all right set-up this way or should they be allowed to burrow more deeply. Thanks for your help!

    The set ups sound fine but i would give them more substrate to burrow in probably about 3". They seem to make shallow burrows so no need to go overboard with it.

      Thank you! I'll immediately add some additional substrate.
