 This amazing Asian arboreal is a hobby classic! 

With a gorgeous beige carapace, and purple body, this stunning and affordable species is a great addition for anyone that loves high contrast!

These are often referred to as "earth tigers" due to the tiger striping on their abdomen, and their willingness to dig out tree hollows for shelter.

In captivity this can translate to digging into the soil if there is not adequate arboreal hides present.

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.
