A communal velvet spider from southern Africa, Gandanameno sp. is prized for its bold appearance and social behaviour. These compact arachnids sport a velvety black body with subtle white spotting and a bluish shimmer under light. They thrive in dry setups and hydrate exclusively through prey, making misting unnecessary. Known for their peaceful cohabitation, they’re perfect for group displays and offer a rare glimpse into spider sociality. Females can live over five years, making them a long-term and low-maintenance addition to any collection
