- This Old World Burrower is from the arid desert of Socotra Island, Yemen. There are reports of them being found in Madagascar, too.
- They will create intricate burrows with multiple entrances. They are also prolific webbers.
- They have creamy tan bodies, metallic blue/silver carapaces, and striking blue legs.
- If threatened, they can beat the ground with their front legs and even produce a stridulatory hissing noise. However, they are much more likely to beat a retreat into their holes than to stand their ground.
- This species can easily be kept communally, as long as there is plenty of food offered. They make fantastic parents, too, taking care of the babies for quite some time after they are hatched, even providing food for their "kids"!
- The adult size is around 5".
