Wow that’s tiny

Yea they are small, but that's expected being Dwarfs. You don t see a lot of the Cyriocosmus species being bred, well not here in UK at moment .

Hi
they are lovely spiders
Here is one of mine when I got them.
Enclosure is 1oz pot with 3cm diameter on top with 1cm substrate.

This is some time after(picture is C elegans but pots looked identical)They dig lots and fluff the substrate making lots of tunnels.

My males matured one moult after I moved them to 4oz deli pots in about an year.
They will burrow most of the time so hope you will see yours more than I see mine.lol
Good luck with them.

Yes, hopeful I will, when I use to have Cyriocosmus Ritae my adult female was often out on display. But they can get quite skittish and hide if they get disturbed. Am surprised Cyriocosmus species are not more popular but being dwarfs most likely does not help.

Hi
probably true.I personally have a thing for dwarf species myself.Most of them compensate the lack of size with personality
