Selenobrachys philippinus - Philippine Tangerine
Approx. 0.5" spiderling, sold individually in a vial. The Philippine Tangerine is a striking fossorial species from the Philippines known for their vivid orange coloration, extensive webbing and strong feeding response. Give them plenty of substrate and they'll typically construct a deep, silk-lined burrow and spend much of their time underground.
They're hardy and fascinating to keep, but they're also extremely quick and can be highly defensive when disturbed, so careful rehousing and enclosure maintenance are important.
This species was known in the hobby for years as Orphnaecus philippinus, which is the name you'll currently find on my care guide.
