Pelinobius muticus

Biology

The muticus is native to eastern Africa, in scrub land and grassland. They live in borrows under the ground. They can have a lag span of more than 7 inches, but are normally about 5 to 6 . They can be orange or a bright brown color. They are a slow growing spider. They have very think back lags that they use to dig there borrows. For a tarantula they also have a potent venom. The bite will cause sharp pains and itch for days.

Care

The care for the muticus is pretty easy other then there speed and defensive nature. They need dry substrate that is deep enough to borrow. As always keep water in the water dish, also over flow it just a bit every few days. That will be good enough to keep the humidity where it should be. As long as your home does not get to high above 80 degrees or below 70 then room temperature will be fine. They do get large as adult so will need about 10 inches of substrate to borrow. I would put a hide in until they start to make there borrow after that a hide is not needed. I do not really suggest handling any tarantula, if you want one you can handle though do not pick these one.

As always thanks for reading, also or they getting better as I go. If so let me know, if not let me know what I should change. I am also sorry to say that I could not included a life span in these one, as I could not find that information.

You need to proof read these if you want them to come across as professional...
Borrow should be burrow
Lag should be leg
think should be thick
there should be their
to should be too
Your grammar is also wrong in the majority of your sentences.

One other thing. Anyone can google and find all the information they could ever want for any tarantula. If you are giving information almost word for word from a website without permission, or giving the name of that website as where the information came from, you might run in to some legal problems. It's nice you offer to do this but I'm surprised that with all the information available, people don't look it up themselves.. An informational is great when it's from someone that has been raising and breeding a certain species for a long time and they have something to offer that can't be found 100 times on the net.
