Does anyone own a birupes simoroxigorum?

I have absolutely fallen in love but I don't want to get one without knowing everything I can.

Care: I don't know anything about them and I can't find much on them and the ones I'm interested are captive bred, so don't lynch me.

Yes we have a few,
They need to be kept with moist substrate, ideally a decent depth to burrow we also use sphagnum moss in the enclosure
Spiderlings are extremely fast and are faddy eaters they are well known for this ours are kept at a temperature around 22-24c
Fruit flies are ideal feeders for the slings
I don't recommend if you have not kept similar species before as they are delicate
Hope this helps :)

I only have a sling but can confirm what's said above. Quicker than a hiccup so be prepared whenever you pop the lid.

Give it a little bit deeper substrate and treat it like any other Asian fossorial.

Tom Moran has a good husbandry video on Youtube so I basically followed that.
