Phlogiellus moniqueverdezae

[m0lsx]

Does anyone know where to find any non scientific information on the species?

I have had a sling for around a year now & rehomed it from it's vial to smething a little larger tonight. Looking online all I could really find was a youtube video that described it as "opportunistic." They show it in both burrows & in trees.

I have thus put my little one in a tall delicup, with deep substrate & some bark. In the vial it was a good eater & normally out of sight within a web lined burrow.

This is I believe a dwarf species. I know it is from Thailand. But nothing much more than that.

@Enn49 has one and lots of other phlogiellus.. We have 2 but not the moniqueverdezae
Our namtok Philo stays buried away almost all of the time so only seen on rare occasions, also does a decent amount of webbing and eats well but I've never seen it trying to climb up its bark

Mine is just a burrower at the moment but I do find the genus as a whole seem to vary in their behaviour.
My adult female P. sp Baeri tends to be more arboreal and regularly visible and has reached a good 3" dls whereas the 2 adult female P. sp. Khao sok (both no more than 2" dls) are completely different, one has webbed a lot but is often on top of the web but the other has burrowed away and is rarely seen.

Thank you both.
