Default Thrixopelma Pruriens

I have got one of these in my collection but for some reason I can't find ANY info or care sheets for them, I can't even find a propper common name. I have seen it called a Peruvian green, a Green velvet, a chilian green and plenty of other names. I know how to care for it and everything, but I just like to read up in detail about ever T that I get hold of. Can anyone point me in the right directioin? I have tried googling but I get nothing of any interest.

There isnt much info and your right about the common name I always call them Peruvian green velvets also. There isnt an awful lot of info as not as many aren't interested in them so not as popular hence not much info and very cheap to buy.

I wonder why they aint that popular? I love mine, she is pretty, always feeds while I watch and has personallity (well, for a spider she does, lol). She is pretty fast too. In fact I am the only person I know who has owned one. I'm not even sure how big they get.
