Habitat: They live in open, semiarid scrublands and tropical rainforests, and are often found in large groups.

Burrows: They are deep-burrowing spiders that create burrows to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity level.

Size: They can grow to be about 10–13 cm including leg span.

Lifespan: Females can live up to 20 years, while males typically live up to five years.

Temperament: They are skittish and fast runners.

Humidity: They prefer a humidity level of about 60% to 75%, but it can be higher during heavy precipitation.
