I found this guy in the kitchen and put him in a small tank,like my Rosea has.
He ate a cricket straight away and thern disappeared, they like to burrow!
Yesterday he surfaced,looking brighter and velvetier.
Its a mouse spider,Scotophaeus blackwalli, and boy is it lively!

Well, I took the lid off to show Katie and it was off. Up the side of the tank quicker than a flash and off under the settee!
I think they need a deeper enclosure!
