This colorful dwarf is sure spark the fire of excitement for the next gem of your collection as it gets more red with each molt.

By far the most red tarantula in the hobby, this is one species that pictures truly don't do justice to the glowing appearance they have in person.

This species likes a little more humidity, but they are great eaters and fun to watch as they web and dig in the enclosure.

Try keeping the humidity a little higher and you will see it surface more.

Names & Classifications

Genus: Davus Species: sp. 'Panama' Type: Terrestrial/Opportunistic Burrower Temperment: Docile Endemic Location: Panama Adult Size: 4"
Cage Requirements

Choose an enclosure at least twice the tarantula's leg span in width, depth, and height. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and provide a hide to help your pet feel secure.

Diet & Water

Feed your invertebrates crickets, roaches, or mealworms—we primarily use crickets and recommend feeding weekly. Provide a textured, shallow water dish as a drinking source, ensuring it's just water (no sugar, sponges, or additives).

Temperature & Humidity

Keep invertebrates at room temperature (65°F-75°F) and maintain humidity using soil. The soil should be damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds.

Soil & Plants

We use organic coconut fiber for our tarantulas because it resists mold and holds humidity well. For bioactive enclosures, choose nutrient-rich soil, ensuring it is free from insecticides and pests.
