i would def. use some sandy substrate instead of the rocks

This is identical to Leucorchestris arenicola, a burrow constructing spider of the Namib Desert.

Take a look at this link. http://www.bio.tu-darmstadt.de/zoolo.../Birkhofer.htm

Gen. Leucorchestris Lawrence, 1962 L. Lawrence, 1962: 203, type L. arenicola Lawrence, 1962.
f arenicola Lawrence, 1962 *....................Namibia

It seems as this species, which is very new to the hobby is native to The Namib Desert, a desert in Namibia, Africa and commonly called White Lady.

The only information available attempting to label this Cerablus native to Egypt is a forum located at http://www.wirbellose-im-terrarium-f...-aegypten.html

Here are a few more links on Leucorchestris arenicola.
