The Ceratogyrus genus is a delightful collection of oddballs with their stocky builds, intricate abdominal patterning, and then there’s the horn protruding from the center of the carapace. The horn of C. darlingi juts backwards, and their coloration is a grey, with golden femurs. Adult size for females is 4.5″ and they must be allowed to burrow to be comfortable. They’re not overly aggressive, but are fast and will bite if pestered. They do well at temps of 75-84 and humidity shouldn’t exceed 60%.
