CARE NOTES
Keeping considerations
Colourful and fast-growing species with a green carapace, metallic blue legs and orange abdomen. The Spider Shop notes they are easy to keep, prefer drier conditions, lay down heavy webbing across the enclosure, and are usually skittish rather than aggressive. Provide good ventilation, dry substrate, anchor points and a water dish.
