Care Guide
A tiny, fast dwarf that webs heavily and burrows. Skittish and quick to bolt, and desiccates easily at this size, so keep substrate slightly moist with a water dish — better as a second species despite easy care. Venom is potent for a New World dwarf; keep singly (cannibalistic).
⚠️ Safety Information
