Cyriopagopus sp hati hati​

I did lose a White knee sling before so if you have special culture practices; let me know please.
Please try to use scientific names as much as possible, a white knee sling doesn't mean anything so it's hard to give you husbandry advice

Regarding C sp Hati Hati, what research have you done and how are you keeping it? I have found that they prefer to burrow in damp substrate and will pretty much be a pet hole. I would recommend a taller enclosure, for nor boreal, but filled half with substrate topped off with moss and a diagonal branch or leaf. the sling will burrow.

They came in containers with no holes in lids and coco fiber substrate. I drilled holes in lids. I put little water bowl in with hati hati. I researched that it is tropical tarantula from Borneo and may did when younger and later become semiarboreal. It may like tree wholes like a Pokie. I will find water bowl for Brazilian White Knee. I will feed them with dubia roaches or lobster roaches.

The brazilian white knee looks like Acanthoscurria geniculata

Please start using scientific names
