New to the Australian hobby in the spring of 2008, but it has not been made available to the U.S. hobby yet. Possibly, the spring of 2009 is when this species may be for sale. It has been reported to obtain a 22cm+ legspan. There is a famous you tube video of it's stridulation (which sounds like a rattlesnake!). See the video at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b__utY2W1Jg
