Tom Moran is my go to if I'm looking into a new species. Hopefully this video helps you. I can't comment from experience as I've never had one myself

They are fast and skittish...not aggressive. They are a new world spider so the venom is on the milder side. Care is super easy. Dry substrate and a cork slab or tube cleaned up against the enclosure. They dont need a hide they will make dirt curtains. I've got many different psalmopoeus sp. And they are all the same for care.

I have P. pulcher too. I love mine. Super easy and fast growers too. Arachnoclown summed it all up better than I could, but he left out the water bowl. My Psalmopoeous all have a water bowl on the floor of their enclosure.

Some photos from just now. I had him from a sling. He had his mature molt 12-2017. Before molt he webbed and made tunnels to hide in. After no more webs, just wandering and pooping down walls. I have a second enclosure I switch out every so often to help with cleaning. Runs and hids, never been aggressive. Great tarantula to watch grow up.

Don’t for get Psalmopoeous victori! @Phil just sent me a lovely little fella, so active and has now built himself a little burrow at the base of his bark. Looking forward to seeing him grow and change colour. Think Phil has still got one left if anyone wants to join me.
