ere we another beauty from the Megaphobema genus, the M. peterklaasi. A jet black spider with slight striping on the legs, also hailing from Costa Rica, but without the specific needs of M. mesomelas. They’re not as docile as M. mesomelas, so don’t try to handle them. They do well in temps of 72-86 with humidity of 75%. The price reflects just how rare they still are in the US hobby, and while I’d like to say that they’ll be more plentiful in the future, that’s what I thought back in 2001. So, get em while I got em!
