Selenocosmia arndsti

A striking slender species with bright orange legs and carapace contrasting against pitch black femurs and abdomen. They require a moist substrate 10 – 15cm deep to allow burrowing and increase the humidity. They should be kept around 25°c with a 5°c drop in temperature at night

Terrestrial Asian species are generally aggressive, when threatened they rear up in a threat display and wont hesitate to bite anything that gets close. Selenocosmia are however in a league of their own and are 6 inches of pure evil. Not only are they fearlessly aggressive but also exceptionally fast so only suitable for experienced keepers. If provoked not only will they bite, they will shoot across your floor, steal your TV and beat up your cat before disappearing.
