Orange Foot Huntsman Spider. “Orange” is a currently undescribed species, and is native to Namibia, where it’s found in the trees and bushes.

ref Wikipedia : Palystella is a genus of huntsman spiders that was first described by R. F. Lawrence in 1928.

ref Wikipedia : Huntsman spiders, members of the family Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae), are known by this name because of their speed and mode of hunting. They are also called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places (forests, mine shafts, woodpiles, wooden shacks). In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly, they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.

More than a thousand Sparassidae species occur in most warm temperate to tropical regions of the world, including much of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas.

Several species of huntsman spider can use an unusual form of locomotion. The wheel spider (Carparachne aureoflava) from the Namib uses a cartwheeling motion which gives it its name, while Cebrennus rechenbergi uses a handspring motion.

This spider is best kept at temperatures between 22°C – 30°C with a humidity of 40% – 60%.

PLEASE NOTE: This spider can be very skittish with highly toxic vemon!
