Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this spider? I purchased one from a well known online dealer ( as a sling ).
I like to think I know my way around a T, but this one is baffling me. It's very slow growing, Not the best feeder although very active ( keen burrower). I have all the usual suspects gooty's, blue fang's etc but this one is by far has me the most excited as I have no clue.
I cant find any Adult images, Care sheets although I can find sales listed sales abroad under the rare listings yet still no images.
Can anyone give me any advice on care or experience they have had with this T?

Thanks in advance ( Am I being stupid? Is there another name I've missed?)

Not much info online either but since it is from genus Cyclosternum, might as well keep it with a half-dry/half-moist substrate to see what it prefers. To simulate the Colombian climate it should dry substrate, warm day temps with cool nighttime temps and medium to high humidity

Thanks for the reply, this is exactly what my method of thinking was....... the "columbian" part of the name is the only part that differs from other's . would really like to know a little more temperament and behavioral wise.
