Nice pics, I really like the murinus.... I must get one soon...

No probs with the size there mate, good looking selection.

Must add a H spinifer to my scorp collection soon if i can find a decent specimen (or two...or three...or....)

am i right in thinking the Malaysian forest scorp needs quite high humidity compared to the other "forest" dwelling species

lovely inverts, I especially like the whistling spider and the P. murinus

I keep mine with an open water dish, on damp substrate, with a log/bit of wood to burrow under. I mist 2 or 3 times a week. Hope that helps.

A few more...
Acanthoscurria chacoana


Uropygi sp. eating cricket


Hadogenes paucidens


And a question. How big does O. aureotibialis grow? Would this be big enough to house an adult?

Hi Mike, regarding the O. aureotibialis, you'll need a bigger pot than that! As adults they have an average legspan of 15cm I gather and your container would be fine for a spiderling or juvenile (provided it was three quarters full of substrate). My two seem to love burrowing, they are only about 5cm each but they've dug burrows about 18-19cm. They stopped when they ran out of soil! Even so they are beautiful spiders and if you're thinking of getting some, do it! You'll not be dissappointed

Hi Nicola, I've got three slings already! But I thought they topped out at about 4 inches?

Hi Mike,
You might find they'll grow a bit bigger than that but even at 4 inches you'll need a larger adult tank. I'd look at something around 30cm x 30cm x 45cm high to give a spider room to burrow and strech its legs when it wanders at night.
