A quick search of the forum didn't turn up anything that directly addresses this point... sorry if I'm reposting a question that's been answered somewhere.
I'm considering ordering an A. purpurea, but I have some concerns about their care requirements. PetcenterUSA has this blurb about them on their website:
TEMP= 80 degrees---Maximum HIGH TEMP-=86 degrees.....This species MUST BE KEPT HUMID.....CONDENSATION IS NECESSARY.....Best kept in a MICRO-CLIMATE....DO NOT LET THIS SPIDER GET COLD OR DRY....******
I would take most Internet advice about Ts with a grain of salt, but I've dealt with Paul before and my impression is that he knows his stuff. Is this species in fact this sensitive? The posts I've found here on AB don't suggest that it is, but I'd like to get some opinions about this specific statement. I've kept Ts for about 3 years now, and I have six, including an A. avic and a versi, and I feel pretty confident in my abilities as a keeper. Wondering if this T is going to be any more sensitive than my other Avics?
