What s fuzzy spider! How big do these get? What’s their disposition like?

I can’t speak to disposition, but a female should get around 7". I have read that they can be flighty and nervous, but spider personalities vary greatly.

Yes there are pretty nervous and flighty. My tripepii will definitely scamper about when I open the enclosure. Not really bolt, but it will run around a bit. By contrast my Nhandu chromatus will go directly to it’s burrow when I open up it’s enclosure.
Never got any threat poses or anything like that, there are just a bit nervous so slow movements are key.

Interesting. I’m always intrigued about learning more about the personalities of different creatures. Of course the biology, ecology, husbandry aspects are fascinating, too. What can I say, I’m hopeless.
