The villosella is still a very small sling but the gabonensis isn't far off adult size now and it is more terrestrial although it has webbed almost the whole container and spends a lot of time on top of the webbing, I have it in a 4" cube. The villosella is showing similar habits. When I first got the gabonensis I'd read that they were in fact semi-arboreal so I always kept it in a container with about 1" of substrate and a couple of inches headroom which, as I said, it filled with web tunnels.</p></blockquote><p></p>
