Catumiri argentinense (dwarf copper)

*SUB ADULT*

Tiny terrestrial with big burrower energy. Stays small, keeps to its hide, and makes a neat little tunnel system once it settles—great for folks who enjoy shy, tidy spiders over drama.

Quick care

• Lifestyle: Terrestrial/burrower; shy, quick dash; light webbing.
• Enclosure: Floor space over height; snug cork hide; secure lid; good cross-vent.
• Substrate: 10–15 cm, firmly packed. Keep lower layers lightly damp and the surface mostly dry; slings appreciate a steady moisture gradient.
• Temps/Humidity: 22–25 °C; moderate humidity with airflow
• Feeding: Slings: 2× tiny feeders weekly. Juvies: every 7–10 days. Adults: 10–14 days. Pause during premoult.
• Temperament: Shy/skittish more than defensive—no handling, watch not touch.
