[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 46013, member: 3538"] Sym, I'm envious. I've been watching this thread since it began. Also seeing a price drop here in the U.S. of late, down to 150 USD on one site. I don't personally have any Harpactira species, but researching the Harpactirinae sub family, found the Ceratogyrus to be closet comparison. C. brachycephalus & paulseni are from the same region of Africa. These as adults prefer a drier soil, moistened monthly and allowed to completely dry out then repeat the cycle. As slings are more moisture dependant, haven't developed the wax like outer coat to retain body moisture. I've seen different levels of defensive behavior in the Haplopelma and Ceratogyrus species I keep. Never seen "aggressive" behavior of the 9 species currently keeping. Although that may change when the Phlogius sp. Eunice arrive, apparently these will chase for a couple of meters before retreating. Must be the Australian environment. Lol! Anyway keep up the good work and keep us posted. Happy T'ing. [/QUOTE]
