Listen to the C. cornuatus stridulate! |
 Getting bigger... |
|
Species Information: This is one of the unusual horned baboon spiders. It's native to Africa in and around Mozambique and are found in dry forest and savanna. They're a deep burrower and prefer a mostly dry (but not desert dry) enclosure. |
|
Feeding: She seems to have recovered from her injury and feeding well. She eats large crickets and medium roaches. |
 Big gooey food bolus. |
| Housing: I've moved her into one of the larger pet-pal style enclosures since she seems to have recovered from her injury. There's a cork bark shelter and a water dish of course. There are a few inches of potting soil to fufil her digging desires. I try to keep her at about 50-60% humidity and the temperature in the spider room is usually 80-84°F. She ignored the cork shelter I provided and just started digging a burrow network in the corner of the cage. |
|
Temperment: She's rather aggressive and very skittish. It was very difficult to get her to stay in her cage when moving her, and she would stridulate (quitely because of her small size) if I tried to move her. The noise was very strange, sorta like cicadas but not so loud. Like a hiss, a buzz and a rattling all in one. |
|
Molting: This spider is very secretive about and tends to destory the shed skin to the point that I can't even tell when it's molted! There are certainly molts missing from this record.
