Hi,
I have recently got a Heteropoda javana named Lorax. However I cannot find much information online on how to care for them, beyond the species info on the Spider Shop website.
In particular I wondered whether it is advisable to give true spiders of this size a water dish? Her leg-span is about 4-5cm. And is it recommended to mist them every day?
I have been feeding her small red runners every 3 days or so. Any extra info about this species would be appreciated! E.g. I am curious how big they are meant to get. The spider shop says 8cm leg span however she is already a sub-adult, so I wondered if she is nearly full size already.
Thanks if you can help!
Here is a picture of Lorax, I love how permanently grumpy he looks (He is a she biologically haha but I see him as male). Also attached is a picture of his enclosure. At the moment I have a water dish but am just keeping it so there is a trickle of water in it.
