For those of you that have been keeping H. gabonensis long term, what is your set up like? I'm reading everything from they are moisture dependent arboreals to they like it bone dry and are fossorial.
I'd read it was semi-arboreal but to be honest the one I had just webbed the whole 4" cube container and I only ever saw it's shadow moving in the tunnels.
Because of all the webbing it was difficult to keep a water bowl topped up without it syphoning out into the substrate so the bottom of the container tended to be damp.
