New T's, one is a little confusing.

[Incubuss]

I ordered a Psalmopoeus irminia (Venezuelan suntiger) and a Ephehopus rufescens (red skeleton) today. The later of the two seems to have two latin names? E. rufescens and E. murinus. I know they maybe different species but finding info on the E. rufescens is proving a little difficult and some sites say the two are the smae as each other.

Ephebopus rufescens and Ephebopus murinus are two TOTALLY different spiders.

What you wanting to know about it?? I collect and keep Ephebopus species

[Incubuss]

I would just like a good source of info on the E. rufescens and a good care sheet.

[Becky]

Not much out there im afraid.
Keep like any other Ephebopus species.
Damp subby, allow to burrow.
Did you buy it from Lee at the spider shop??

[Incubuss]

No, I got it off a guy I know who sells exotics.

[Becky]

Oh right i only asked coz if u did its sac mate to my 3

Yea, keep the sub wet and it'll be fine. Regular misting and it'll thrive. Will also burrow and web nicely

Oooooo, cool, I'm really looking forward to it as I've dealt with hundreds of T's, but never with one of these.

[Becky]
