Psalmopoeus cambridgei

I ended up ordering a Trinidad chevron (Psalmopoeus cambridgei) from botar but since its so early in the morning he obviously hasn't responded yet so once I get a confirmation email that he did get it and that he's going to send it off today I'll let everyone know.

In the mean I did a some research and can anyone tell me if the research I did gave me the correct information on this species? (read info below)

-Very fast moving
-it lives in silk tubes built in trees and/or folded leaves
-arboreal
-high humidity
-Aggressive
-Temperature range: 75-78 farenheit.

The info you have appears to be correct. Congrats! How are the vulpina and the 2 h. gigas doing?

Before I get into the other two, botar emailed me and he has to postpone delivery bout the P cambridgei because of my temps its really cold here. Hopefully I'll have em buy tuesday morning.

The other two are doing well, I haven't seen my gigas since i put them in here. well actually i seen my black one about 2 times but that's just because since I knew where he was at (He dug his self a hole directly under a cork bark) I just picked it up to make sure he is still there and he's cool. the other one is deep down in the hole and he never comes out. Well, if he does come out i never see him. So when I buy some crickets I'll put one in the hole and see if it comes back out or not..I have a question, when burrowers die do they die in the burrow or will they come out in the open to do the death curl?

It all depends. They often do die inside the burrow; if the crickets stop disappearing or if there is a bad smell in the enclosure, it can mean the worst. I have heard of them coming out to die as well.

I have a P. cambridgei.. VERY fast for sure. It's a sling, and it burrows a lot, and sometimes it hangs out on the walls of it's cage.

Oh, and one more thing, tarantulas from the genus psalmopoeus have no urticating hairs.

The only other thing I would say is that most of the Psalmopoeus tend to hide a lot.

I occasionally shine a flashlight into a cork bark tube to check in my huge female cambridgei. I very rarely catch her outside of her tube.

Ok everyone so what I will getting today if I remember correctly, is two Avicularia versicolor, one Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, and one Psalmopoeus cambridgei. Since I'm not really sure I'll correct my self once they get here if I'm wrong.

Cool.. three of my favorite spiders. I have 2 GBBs... they're such pretty spiders.

Another thing to add about Psalmopeous sp. is that, especially when young, they tend to burrow as well as hang out in elevated locations. While they don't make a burrow like a terrestrial does, they often dig out little trenches for themselves and sometimes will extend their tubes from it upward. So, don't freak out if your Psalm. takes to sitting at the bottom and tossing dirt every now and then.

As they mature, they tend to not burrow as much.....unless they have been mated. Females will often times, if given ample substrate, dig a rather deep burrow and lay their egg sacs there and stay in the burrow until the slings hatch out.

Yeah my sling burrows most of the time.
