That is exactly the point mate. Google is very useful, you will find that accurate hits occur when you type the scientific name and not the other way round.

Anyway, your H lividum is an excellent choice if you are into Pet Holes, but is a magnificent spider if/when you see it. Are you looking for a sling, juvenile or adult? I have a friend who knows a friend who's uncles nephew might have an adult female. I will send a smoke signal and inquire, just in case...

Welcome on board!

H.lividum are awesome, but might be a bit quick and feisty for a beginner to work with and as Scarab says you won't enjoy the reward of seeing the T much because they are very "hole" bound, but the sooner you get started the better I guess.

Enjoy

I love my H lividum, during the day she is nothing more than a shadow, but at night she comes out to play.

Thanks for the info guys! :laugh:

@Scarab - Thanks for the effort. I would prefer a sling, saw a 1 at a petshop in Moreleta for R400.

My new enclosure should be finished over the weekend. So I'll post that some time this weekend.

Enjoy the weekend!
