Care Guide
A New World giant (7-9in) with purple iridescence on mature males. Bold, fast, and famously food-motivated — it'll mistake vibrations for prey, so be deliberate during maintenance. Floor space over height with deep substrate to burrow, one damp area, water dish. Urticating hairs, mild venom. Best for intermediate keepers.
