unfortunatly it is. I was given him/her.

Do you have any advice on keeping them at all.

Yeah, got 2 today, and very quickly learned not to open the pots and dont whatever you do breathe on them!!!
First time ive ever had a tarantula escape and run across the floor into hiding
And they climb really well, one of the ones i got has made a burrow and the other is sitting by a web on the lid
Good luck

Dont get bitten.

Personally i don't have any hands on experience with these but have two oranges arriving at the end of the month. They are some of the only spiders that show aggression at spiderling age.

I haven't had any experience with the incei so I can't help you there but I can give you some pointers for the Usambara.

Don't dampen the tank too much, they like it a bit dryer. Don't breathe on them while the lid is off or you'll lose it somewhere. As youngsters they are not that aggressive but when they grow a bit it's a different story and they will become very snappy so caution is a must when dealing with them.

Keep the murinus in a tank that allows it to be arboreal or a burrower. Decor to setup lots of web. Keep the substrate dry but with a water bowl, they're very easy to keep. Temps 75F +

H. incei are also easy. Dry sub, just misting weekly. Water bowl, same temps. They like to burrow too.
