Central American Whip Spider

A small Central American whip spider — a harmless nocturnal ambush predator whose spiked pedipalps look intimidating but are almost never used in defense (no venom, no sting). House it in a vertical enclosure roughly twice its span in each dimension, with cork bark to cling to, 65-80°F, and high humidity (70-90%) maintained by misting once or twice daily plus a water dish. Tolerant of communal housing given space and hides. Hardy as long as it never dries out.
