Chilobrachys huahini is an affordable earth tiger species from Thailand that makes a wonderful webbed fortress out of its enclosure if given enough space and time. C. huahini are equipped with a rusty, yellowish amber color, and a silvery gray with orange leg hairs after a molt. These fossorial spiders do spend a bit of time in the ground, but that just makes the events of you seeing them all the more special. Like most old worlds, these spiders are not very tolerant of disturbances and will surely dart into their burrow upon being bothered. However, while they may flee as a first act, they may rear up and give a threatening display if in a corner.
This species is found in Thailand’s Prachuap Khiri Khan province, with their name “Huahini” coming from the location of their discovery; “Hua hin”. Females may get around 6 inches in legspan. The common name of “Asian Fawn” comes from both their geographic location and their likeness to the color that a young deer may have on their coat. These spiders are not usually rare, but they are a pretty sight to see in an all webbed up enclosure! Perfect for those that love their earth tigers or want to get into something a bit more intermediate when it comes to old worlds.
