Origin

Africa

Pterinochilus murinus (red colour form) has to be described as one of the fastest most aggressive species in the hobby, it will go into the typical threat posture at just picking up the enclosure, certainly not for beginners. the normal arboreal set up requirements, tall enclosure, 2" vermiculite substrate and a piece of cork bark to climb and web on. as spiderlings they will feed well and grow fast, showing their aggressive nature as small is 1". other than the aggression of this one there is little more to say, it should be given the respect that it deserves.
