Behavior and Temperament: Defensive and skittish; quick to retreat into its web tunnels when disturbed.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Requires deep substrate for burrowing and a dry, well-ventilated enclosure with moderate humidity levels.
Feeding: Feeds on crickets, roaches, and other insects.
Additional Information: Known for creating extensive, intricate webs that can cover its entire enclosure.
