Care at a glance

Provide an appropriately sized, secure, well-ventilated terrestrial enclosure with burrowable substrate, a hide and fresh water. Keep a portion of the substrate lightly moist without waterlogging it. Offer appropriately sized feeder insects and remove uneaten prey. Allow the exoskeleton and fangs to harden after a molt before feeding.

This species can move quickly when disturbed and is best enjoyed through observation. Routine handling is discouraged.
