from Spider Identifications :

There are spines on the legs of these spiders.

These spiders lay around 100 eggs, which are covered in webbing. The web-covered eggs are rolled into a ball, and the resulting sac is protected fiercely by the mother.

The juveniles stay close to the mother during this stage, often seen riding on her back while going from place to place.

Like other spiders in this genus, they do not spin webs, preferring to bury underground.

The venom generated by these spiders is only effective enough to paralyze prey 20% smaller than them in size, not larger animals.

French zoologist Pierre André Latreille first described this species in 1817.

Keep these at temperatures of 20°C – 26°C with a humidity of 50% – 65%.
