Yeah I do find her perched up, but she was in an enclosure about 1/2-1/3 the size of her current one, and she moved about a lot already in there.
Wanted to give her some space to explore!
I wasn’t initially keen on the cave hide, but I’ve seen her use it already, and peering in to see her fully...
Hey guys, just wanted to share this gorgeous girl with you all.
Going back to basics has been awesome (My parents got me a Cobalt, Cyriopagopus Lividus, as my first T not quite understanding.
Luna, my Brazilian Black, has honestly been fascinating to watch the differences in temperament and...
Hey all, I’m a pretty new owner, but already my T, Pharis has come into breeding age well before we thought he would (he was thought to be juvenile when sold to me) attached are some admittedly poor images, but his pedipalps and emboli appear ready, colour is a solid grey tan and is wondering...
Yh, he’s my first T and finding out I’ve got maybe less than a year with him was kinda heartbreaking but you are right. I’m in the midst of trying to find a breeder as I said, I can’t let those emboli go to waste now can I?
I wish I could share the enthusiasm. I’m now in a panic trying to find a breeder, I’ve only had him 3 months and now he’s got his Horny Boy Timer. It’s hit me a little hard I can’t lie
Hey guys,
My first time owning a T, so I’m not 100% certain what I’m looking for on an adult male, as far as I’m aware it’s pedipalps ready for mating.
With that in mind can anyone more experienced weigh in on these images? I was sold Pharis (T, Cyriopagopus Lividus) as a juvenile yet he...
definitely, but there’s been no other signs of stress. The rehome a few weeks ago was already a fair bit and caused that response. Since then, Pharis was eating well, I’ve been keeping the substrate damp and have added a deeper “mound” at the far end of the Vivarium, but they refuse to use it...
Pharis has holes themselves up; I know burrowing behaviour and seclusion is normal for these guys, does this seem more like molting behaviours? The second image Pharis has fully walled off one side and left the headless cricket outside
Believe me, I know. My parents got Pharis for me outside of my knowledge and didn’t research the species at all.
I’m aware of their speed and their propensity to Bite and Dash as opposed to hiding.
At least they didn’t get me an OBT as my first I’ve been obsessed with Cobalts since I was...
I haven’t been able to Sex Pharis yet as “it” is still a very young juvenile according to the store.
I’d never put more than one in an enclosure that’s just a horror waiting to happen.
I do apologise for the confusion
Awesome, I noticed Pharis had ejected a part eaten cricket from their hide and pulled a fresher prekill in (cricket was a LITTLE large so I thought it best) but hasn’t eaten and has sat snug in the hide. They’ve webbed up a significant amount more on one side of this hide too, haven’t really...
Wonderful thank you so much!
I did expect that the rehousing was gonna be the hard part; I watched Pharis move about 8” in less than a second.
Also got the Humidity under control which was a concern of mine.
Any tips around molts? Theirs is due quite soon

Hi everyone,
I’m fully aware of faux pas that is owning a Cyriopagopus Lividus as your first spider, but Pharis (Not sexed yet) was given as a gift to me.
I’ve done a fair amount of research...
