They like a good amount of humidity so they need to be sprayed often (I do it every 2-3 days).

Any more quuestions just ask
Ignore that, I thought you was asking about the H. maculata.

I agree 100%. Scientific names are far better that the silly common names people give them. No offence meant from my last post

I need to stop asking questions, it always makes me look stupid lol

No question is stupid, when it comes to T's it's best to use scientific names.

P. murinus are Africans so keep dry and warm. I used to over flow the water bowl a little bit every now and then to keep humidity up.
Semi-arboreal. Can live any of the 3 ways (terrestrial, arboreal or fossorial) Fast, bitey and nasty...

I got rid of the ones i was given coz they really are NOT my cup of tea lol
