What to expect in B. auratum?

[misstque]

So my B. auratum sling just molted. I just want to know some of its characteristics like: is it a heavy flicker like the B. boehmei? Is it a burrower like the B. albopilosum? Is it easily scared? what is its temperament?
I'm just really curious and I want to know your opinion from experience. THANKS!

Well, all of those things are going to depend on the individual spider. For instance, most Brachys aren't defensive, but some may be. Most B boehmei kick a lot of hair, but some won't. They really are individuals, you'll see that more and more as you advance in the hobby. Hope this helps

Thank you! I hope it doesn't flick much.

These are one of the more skittish Brachys. They are very handy with the urticating hairs.

 

[misstque]

Ooooh. Thank you for the info!

 

[Chubbs]

You're welcome. I have noticed that most Brachys if housed adequately will burrow when young.

yeah. My curlyhair hides inside its burrow most of the time. Only comes out when hungry.
