Hi,
Just picked up a Phlogius/Selenocosmia Crassipes, about 7-8cm. I am struggling to find info/care sheets for them, just seems that they need to be kept more or less like a Chilobrachys. I know they are meant to get quite large, and are quite aggressive with a potent venom to match. Does anyone have one, or could anyone give me a bit more info on these?
Thanks.

Hey Bailey. Never kept one myself, but would imagine it being the same keeping as the Chilobrachys more or less. Fast little buggers and yip you correctl. Quite potent venom. If i am not mistaken, this sp. Also stridulates. Very awesome to hear.

Thanks, Haven't got the nerve yet to test for threat posture or stridulation!

Haha. No rush hey bud. Always recommend if working with a fast species, work in the bath tub. Works wonders.

I sure do Bailey.

Ps: that's what shows on my side. The alias Bailey. Guessing mine shows Jason..lol. should show darkest days as my alias. Whoops

Cool thanks. Just rehoused my 10cm P regalis, using the baththub. (with the plug in).
What you want for the Indian violet?
