Phlogiellus moniqueverdezae

[Phlo1]

Expecting a sling soon. Can't find too much info on them besides that they're from Thailand instead of the phillipines like baeri. I do know they like to be in a moist environment. Nonetheless does anyone have any experience on these Ts? I have read they reach 6" which is huge considering it's a dwarf. Love some insight

If you scroll down there is a discussion of size and they say BL of 2,5 cm.

I have one that I was given as a sling, about a year ago. And the above link, given by Enn49, is the only information I have been able to find about them.

I keep mine in a tall, top opening, enclosure, with a reasonable depth of substrate & some vertical bark on top of that with some small leaves hot glued to the bark. When I first got it, it spent all of it's time burrowed in the substrate. In its current home, it has webbed up behind the bark & made a substrate tower within the webbing & it looks like it has some webbed burrows within the substrate too. Mine is a pet hole & the only time I have ever seen it was when I moved it from its sling enclosure to it's larger enclosure.

Food disappears, so I assume mine is still alive.

Thanks! Can't wait for mine

2" spiders don't sell as good as 6" spiders...never trust a retailer, they only want your money.

My moniqueverdezae sling is rarely seen but seems to be growing well and my Baeri is always visible as an adult.
I have a great soft spot for the dwarf Ts especially the Phlogiellus genus.

Same here! I was given a MM p baeri and I love the guy. He is pretty shy though. I really like this genus I wouldn't mind to get more

I got my baeri as a grown on sling and it was the only T that scared me, every time I opened her container she'd charge at me bur now as a 6 year old she's very calm.

Yes, spiders get less defensive over time.

Well that’s what happened to many of my spiders. When I just received them, they were very defensive for example every time I went to change water dishes, they would be in threat posture. But over time, my spiders started to get used to me and became less defensive.

Lmao, Your statement was a generalization. Being complacent with a old world spider like a H. maculata or Poecilotheria and you'll be seeing the Emergency room. You can't generalize all spiders get less defensive with age. Each spider is its own individual. My Grammostola rosea is over 20 years old and will throw up a threat posture right now. Also spiders dont learn...they can't be taught. They don't have a functioning brain that holds onto memories. They function totally on preset instincts. Food, shelter, defense, breeding...thats it. They dont learn to tolerate you.

It also depends on the behavior not the certain species. Some old worlds can be just as chill as new worlds.
