- This Old World Terrestrial/Burrower is from East-central Africa, and is usually found in the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania (the Usambara mountains).
- Very defensive once they reach 2" or so. If a retreat is available, they'll usually go to it when threatened. However, they will attack if provoked. With this said, this species offers varied "personalities". There are many reports of well-behaved, even calm OBT's. Per our friend Carley Frame, her baby is known as Maximus Pissedoffamus. This species is definitely not for beginners!
- It is an Opportunistic Burrower and will sometimes fill the entire container with thick layers of silk.
