Message: <blockquote data-quote="timc" data-source="post: 202833" data-attributes="member: 4054">I’ve done exactly 0 research on this species but from what I’ve read about the Ornitoctoninae that have been coming into the hobby (this family will probably be revised before long and separated into different genus) is that during the day they live inside their cork tubes, even going so far as to burrow deep into the substrate, but at night they come out to hunt on branches or cork flats or whatever you have above the “ground”. So, kinda both. They would need a fairly large enclosure with enough room to burrow as well as enough height to stretch out and hunt.This is just info I ascertained through passing reading, I really don’t have much interest in Asian tarantulas so I haven’t devoted much time to learning about them. If anyone has any better or different information please correct me. They’re beautiful spiders, but not my cup of tea.</blockquote>
