Although Usambara tarantulas are classified as terrestrial. It seems that each of its legs has 2 pads adapted for arboreal walking. Don't all arboreals have these pads? For example my Usambara walks much better on a solid surface than the soil/dirt/substrate at the bottom of its cage.
So although it may show terrestrial, and or burrowing abilities shoudln't it truely be classified as an arboreal spider? What defines a true arboreal spider. It seems to have the pads that would be one of the defining features that tarantulas like Rose Hairs lack.
Also does anybody else have an usambara or any other tarantula that hangs its consumed prey from little noose netty things? Mine has two finished off crickets hanging from the ceiling/sides of its enclosure. Thanks for all replies in advance!
