What set up style are you keeping them in and where did yours come from (dealer and/or country of origin)?? So far there is no Pseustes keeper group online right now but the idea of a dedicated page is out there amongst our thoughts (small group of us here on the north side of Chicago). Gavin has more info than most since he keeps such intense records.

I just switched my yearling Peruvian male from a rack set up to an arboreal set up and he seems to be much happier and instead of the stand and fight high stress mode he would always drop into in the tub he has gone into a freeze mode each time I walk past. Overall he seems much more relaxed and less stressed though he is very actively cruising his cage and crawling through the PVC pipes I put in there.

I have a pair of Costa Rican babies that are eating fine in a rack at room temp but I would like to move them to an arboreal set up as well after seeing the transformation the older male has gone through. Going to give him a feed attempt this weekend and see if he will take F/T instead of the live he has insisted on so far.
