Adults have blue legs, a blue carapace (head), and a lightly reddish abdomen, with white tipped hairs over the body that give the blue its metallic finish and are where the Metallica name comes from. There is far less red here than on a traditional pink toe, so the animal comes across mostly blue, white and black, and it grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span. Females live about 10 to 12 years, with males maturing faster and typically living only 2 to 3 years. This species is also docile and easygoing, one of the more approachable arboreals in the hobby, and a strong pick for a keeper who wants blue without an old world temperament.

Sized a notch ahead of the animal on purpose, since a pink toe that grows into its space settles and webs faster than one that outgrows it and has to be moved again right away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real cork bark or a real piece of wood in the enclosure is not just decoration, it is one of the most important pieces of this setup. It gives the animal somewhere real to grip and start laying web right away, and with this genus in particular, that first piece of bark makes a drastic difference in how quickly a new arrival settles in and starts webbing. We have seen a real increase in early survival success tied directly to a bark based setup versus a bare enclosure, so this is one detail worth getting right from day one, not something to add later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e From here it moves up to an 8x8x12 inch enclosure, then finally a 12x12x18 inch enclosure as a full adult, with each move coming roughly 8 to 12 months apart at this genus's medium to fast growth rate, full size in about 2 to 4 years start to finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 to 85°F, the optimal range for most tropical species like this one. Cooler temperatures are survivable, but increase the odds of trouble molting and growing, so we recommend staying in this range for the best results. Most keepers do not need any extra heating to hit it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high, with the substrate kept lightly moist rather than wet, and strong cross ventilation. Airflow matters more here than maximizing humidity, so skip a fully screened top, which dries an enclosure out too fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey sized around 3\/16\", the right size for a 0.5 to 0.75 inch animal, offered at least once a week. Feed on that schedule at every stage, spiderlings included, and remove anything left uneaten after a day or two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile but fast, quicker to bolt for its retreat than to stand its ground, and capable of jumping when startled. It tends to stay high in the enclosure and may ignore prey sitting on the ground while young, so offering food up where it is sitting works better than dropping it below. This genus is genuinely easy once one thing is right: keep the air moving with real cross ventilation, keep the substrate lightly moist rather than wet, and give it real cork bark from the sling stage. Get that airflow right and this species is straightforward to raise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink Toe Spiders?:\u003c\/strong\u003e You will sometimes see these called pink toe spiders online. Tarantulas are arachnids, not spiders, and definitely not true spiders, the kind most people picture when they hear the word spider. This is one of the heavy bodied, hairy, long lived tarantulas that gets lumped in with that name anyway.

Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for similar species?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/arboreal\"\u003eArboreal Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-world\"\u003eNew World Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e collections to explore related care profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about Avicularia sp.

Shipping is dehydrating, and an arboreal especially will not settle in or start eating until it has rehydrated properly, so this is the one step worth not skipping on day one. Once you have seen it drink, let it settle in undisturbed for a few days before offering its first meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for an Avicularia sp.

Adults of the Usambara form have a warm, golden yellow-orange base covering the legs, carapace (head), and abdomen, a noticeably softer tone than the brighter red-orange of the classic RCF form. Even as spiderlings, that yellow-orange is already visible and only grows richer with every molt, and this species only grows to about 4 to 5 inches in diagonal leg span, with a fast growth rate that gets it to full size in as little as 1 to 2 years. This species also has a long lifespan, with females reaching about 8 to 12 years while males live 2 to 3 years. This is a fast, reactive, bold display species, and one we recommend for keepers who already have some tarantula experience and want a high-energy animal to watch.

Adults have a muted yellow base accented by black bands and markings across the carapace (head), legs and body, with purple undertones showing through the dark patches. The underside runs brighter, with bold yellow and black banding that creates striking contrast against the more muted yellow on top. The abdomen is darker, with rim coloring in that same iconic pattern seen across Poecilotheria. It grows at a medium to fast pace and the yellow only brightens with every molt. P. striata reaches a max diagonal leg span of about 7 to 8 inches, and females live 12 to 15 years while males live 2 to 3.

Pokies come from a climate with an extreme wet season and an extreme dry season, and that harsh swing is a big part of why striata is more forgiving of a new keeper's mistakes than a lot of other Asian arboreal spiderlings. It also hatches larger than most and feeds with real enthusiasm, even observed taking down small lizards and other vertebrate prey in the wild, and that combination makes it a great species once you are comfortable with Asian arboreals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUncommon in the Hobby:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an uncommon species in the hobby, and it stays highly sought after because of it.

Room temperature works fine too and most animals do just fine there, but it can also lead to slower growth or molting issues, so we want every keeper aware of that and matching the native range when they can, which helps the animal thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep humidity high with good, ideally cross, ventilation.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed crickets sized around 3\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch, roughly the size of the carapace, at least once a week, every stage including this one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast and defensive when it feels truly threatened, bolting into its tube rather than standing its ground.

That is part of why generous space on all sides matters so much, not just for Poecilotheria but for Asian arboreals in general: give it room and you get to see the whole leg span and pattern stretched out at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Forgiving Than the Reputation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Poecilotheria comes from rugged, sometimes unforgiving parts of India and Sri Lanka, and striata carries that same toughness into captivity.

Pokies come from a climate with an extreme wet season and an extreme dry season, and that harsh swing is a big part of why tigrinawesseli is more forgiving of a new keeper's mistakes than a lot of other Asian arboreal spiderlings. It also hatches larger than most and feeds with real enthusiasm, even observed taking down small lizards and other vertebrate prey in the wild, and that combination makes it a great species once you are comfortable with Asian arboreals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuinely Rare in the Hobby:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a rare species in the hobby, and it stays highly sought after because of it. Poecilotheria already runs smaller egg sacs and longer gestation periods than a lot of other tarantulas, and this species sits toward the harder end even within that, so very few captive-bred tigrinawesseli reach the market in a given year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should this Poecilotheria be kept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species hatches at around 0.75 to 1 inch and grows toward its adult max from there.

Room temperature works fine too and most animals do just fine there, but it can also lead to slower growth or molting issues, so we want every keeper aware of that and matching the native range when they can, which helps the animal thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep humidity high with good, ideally cross, ventilation.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed crickets sized around 1\/4 inch to 3\/8 inch, roughly the size of the carapace, at least once a week, every stage including this one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast and defensive when it feels truly threatened, bolting into its tube rather than standing its ground.

That is part of why generous space on all sides matters so much, not just for Poecilotheria but for Asian arboreals in general: give it room and you get to see the whole leg span and pattern stretched out at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Forgiving Than the Reputation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Poecilotheria comes from rugged, sometimes unforgiving parts of India and Sri Lanka, and tigrinawesseli carries that same toughness into captivity. Poecilotheria tolerates real-world humidity and temperature swings better than its reputation suggests, with more margin for error day to day than most keepers expect from an old world arboreal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for similar species?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/exoticsunlimitedusa.com\/collections\/old-world\"\u003eOld World Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/exoticsunlimitedusa.com\/collections\/arboreal\"\u003eArboreal Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e collections to explore related care profiles and species groupings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about the Tiger Ornamental Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do when I first get my tarantula?\u003c\/strong\u003e As soon as it arrives, mist the enclosure so there is clear moisture on the webbing, substrate, or enclosure wall, and keep an eye on it until you actually see it take a drink.

Spiderlings start out black and orange, changing a little more with every molt until the blue, green and orange coloration comes in around two and a half inches and intensifies as it gets bigger. The GBB only grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span, while females live an impressive 10 to 15 years and males mature faster, typically living only 2 to 3 years. GBBs are also docile but skittish, and highly active, quicker to move and a little more easily startled than some of the calmer beginner picks like the Mexican Red Knee or Brazilian Black, though not an aggressive or mean spider by nature.

Adults have a stunning green and yellow base that runs across the legs, carapace (head) and abdomen, with amazing undertones of other color worked into the carapace, red setae scattered over the legs and abdomen, and yellow highlights along the top of each leg. The underside is one of the most beautiful in the hobby, flashing red, purple, green and blue across its reflective parts whenever the animal is up on the glass, and the underneath of the front legs, just beneath the carapace, runs an especially vivid yellow banding of its own. Spiderlings hatch out unusually large for Poecilotheria, some close to an inch and others reaching an inch and a half, starting out gray bodied with the same base outline every young pokie starts with before a red hue begins coming in around an inch and a half to two inches and intensifies from there.

Adults reach a max diagonal leg span of about 8 to 9 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 6 by 6 by 10 inch enclosure with at least one and a half inches of substrate and a piece of cork bark set on an angle or a cork tube for it to climb into, plus a few silk or artificial plant anchors so early webbing has somewhere to start, sized ahead of the animal, simple spiderling housing that will not need a move any time soon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real cork bark or driftwood pieces make a real difference for rufilata, giving it natural climbing surfaces and webbing anchor points that help it settle in faster, at every size from spiderling on up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e From here it moves up to a 12 by 12 by 18 inch enclosure, then a final 18 by 18 by 30 inch enclosure as an adult, each one lasting roughly twelve to sixteen months before the next move at this species' medium to fast growth rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep this species between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for its optimal range, matching the warm tropical range it comes from. Room temperature works fine too and most animals do just fine there, but it can also lead to slower growth or molting issues, so we want every keeper aware of that and matching the native range when they can, which helps the animal thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep humidity high with good, ideally cross, ventilation. That combination matters far more than hitting any single humidity number.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed crickets sized around 3\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch, roughly the size of the carapace, offering two to three prey items per feeding at this size rather than one, at least once a week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast and defensive when it feels truly threatened, bolting into its tube rather than standing its ground. Given real space, though, Red does not just hide: it is confident enough to be out and visible during the day as well as after dark, stubborn rather than skittish, and noticeably calmer than a lot of other Asian arboreals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations for the Red Slate Ornamental Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedically Significant Venom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Slate Ornamental Tarantula carries medically significant venom, but it is not deadly to humans. Just something to consider before you purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoves to Stretch Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Like every Poecilotheria, rufilata spends most of its life vertically oriented on bark, and it loves to stretch out flat with its legs in that same iconic vertical position to blend right in, whether that is on bark or any other surface in the enclosure. That is part of why generous space on all sides matters so much, not just for Poecilotheria but for Asian arboreals in general: give it room and you get to see the whole leg span and pattern stretched out at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Forgiving Than the Reputation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Poecilotheria comes from rugged, sometimes unforgiving parts of India and Sri Lanka, and rufilata carries that same toughness into captivity. Poecilotheria tolerates real-world humidity and temperature swings better than its reputation suggests, with more margin for error day to day than most keepers expect from an old world arboreal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for similar species?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/exoticsunlimitedusa.com\/collections\/old-world\"\u003eOld World Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/exoticsunlimitedusa.com\/collections\/arboreal\"\u003eArboreal Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e collections to explore related care profiles and species groupings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about the Red Slate Ornamental Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do when I first get my tarantula?\u003c\/strong\u003e As soon as it arrives, mist the enclosure so there is clear moisture on the webbing, substrate, or enclosure wall, and keep an eye on it until you actually see it take a drink.

In the wild this species spends the day tucked under cover like this, coming out mainly in the mornings, and the hide also gives it a spot to retreat to for extra humidity if it wants it. If a spiderling is seen tucked tightly into a corner, that is usually a sign the enclosure is running a little too humid rather than too dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e From here, expect to size up to about 12 by 12 by 8 inches and then about 18 by 18 by 12 inches as it grows, each stage lasting roughly 18 to 24 months at this species' slow growth rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep them between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimal range for most highland species like this one.

We recommend a light misting about once a week. The top of the substrate can dry out between mistings, but the substrate underneath should never be allowed to dry out completely, matching the surface dry, soil damp balance this species is used to in the wild. The hide (see Setup Tips) gives it a spot to retreat back down to that moisture whenever it wants it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e At this size, offer prey around 1\/8\" (roughly the size of the carapace), at least once a week. This species does not eat much and may go a week or more, sometimes closer to a month, between meals, so a slower feeding pace is normal rather than a cause for concern.

Adults have velvety jet black legs, carapace (head) and abdomen, one solid color from end to end, which is where the Brazilian Black name comes from. Spiderlings start out with reddish brown legs and carapace set against a black abdomen, darkening with every molt until that jet black comes in around two and a half inches, while the species only grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span. Like others in the genus, this species is very long lived, with females reaching about 20 to 30 years and males 3 to 5.

'balcanicus', is a terrestrial true spider from Greece and Turkey, often found in dry, rocky Mediterranean habitat among bushes and grass. Adult females carry a black body with a warm orange face, while mature males show a more contrasting black and red pattern and stay noticeably smaller than females. Spiderlings hatch out solid black, and females begin showing their adult coloration around 1 inch, about half of their 1.5 to 2 inch full size, while males stay black until they mature at their own full size of about 0.75 inch. Females live around 8 years while males live only 2 to 3.

Spiderlings start out pink and black, and that pink brightens into a vivid red orange through the juvenile stage and keeps intensifying as the animal grows.

A true dwarf, which means one upsize covers the whole life of the animal and the final enclosure still fits on a shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e You do not need to buy one. We do not sell a seladonia without it. Yours ships in a hand cut 2 by 2 by 3 inch dram vial with about half an inch of substrate, flat cork bark centered off the walls, and shallow starter holes already drilled into the cork. That is sized for a 1 inch spider, so this one has room to grow into it rather than out of it, and it stays tight enough to hold humidity and keep prey findable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e One rehouse ahead of it, into a 5 by 5 by 7 inch enclosure once it passes an inch, and that is the last enclosure it will ever need. They do come out and move around, but they are mainly stationary, living at the trapdoor rather than roaming the way a pink toe does, so they do not need the height a traveling arboreal needs. At a medium to fast growth rate expect roughly 2 to 3 years to full size, faster kept warm and fed well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep them at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This one matters more than most keepers expect. Kept cool they grow very slowly and do noticeably less, and we have consistently seen them do better warm. If your home sits in the 60s, plan on a heat source for this species rather than a shelf in the living room. Get the temperature right and every other part of keeping one gets easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the substrate lightly damp and let the surface layer run drier. This is a tropical species, so it tolerates damp far longer than an arid tarantula would, and consistency matters more here than any number on a gauge. Good ventilation is critical. Cross ventilation works best, but ample top ventilation can also be effective as long as the enclosure is not over-misted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey length should run about a quarter of the leg span, roughly the width of the carapace. At half to three quarters of an inch that is a 1\/8 to 3\/16 inch cricket or a small roach nymph. Feed at least once a week. Pre-killed prey works well so they are sure to find it, and a well fed animal is far more likely to build and maintain its trapdoor than a hungry one that roams instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile and quick to disappear into its trapdoor when it feels disturbed. This species relies on camouflage and retreat, never on standing its ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations for the Brazilian Jewel Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Setup Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e We spent years testing enclosure designs for this species, different cage sizes, different ventilation, different bark, before we noticed something: the setups where the bark already had natural insect holes in it were the ones where spiders built trapdoors fastest. So we started drilling those same holes into cork and vials ourselves, and every seladonia we gave that setup built a trap within a week. Insect boreholes in wood are what a wild seladonia starts its trapdoor in, and drilling our own reproduces that same cue. We spent more years refining that design before we ever released it to customers, and once we saw how much trouble people had replicating it on their own, we started shipping it with the animal instead, hand cut and set up before every seladonia goes out the door. We have worked with this species for over six years now, and helping so many customers raise their seladonia all the way to adulthood has been one of the most rewarding parts of running this business. We feel our cages have played a big part in that, and the design has since been widely copied across the hobby, close to an industry standard for keeping this species now.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCork Bark Is Essential:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species will not behave naturally without proper flat cork bark to build on. Sterile natural cork from day one helps them settle and web faster, and a light dusting of fine bark or sphagnum on the surface helps them blend the trapdoor in. We stock the same sterile cork we use ourselves on our dry goods pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuccess Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a delicate species, and three things carry it: consistent moisture, correctly sized prey, and minimal disturbance. Get those right and the rest takes care of itself. Anyone who has raised Avicularia or Caribena slings already has the skill set, and the keepers who thrive with this species are the ones who ask questions. We are here for exactly that, which is why this species is our specialty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard To Spot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the trapdoor is built it can be very hard to find, which is the whole point of it. Finding it and then watching an ambush is one of the best payoffs in the hobby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaptive Bred:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about Typhochlaena seladonia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do when I first get my tarantula?\u003c\/strong\u003e As soon as it arrives, mist the enclosure so there is clear moisture on the webbing, substrate, or enclosure wall, and keep an eye on it until you actually see it take a drink. Shipping is dehydrating, and an arboreal especially will not settle in or start eating until it has rehydrated properly, so this is the one step worth not skipping on day one. Once you have seen it drink, let it settle in undisturbed for a few days before offering its first meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for a Typhochlaena seladonia Brazilian Jewel well started sling measuring around half to three quarters of an inch (1\/2 to 3\/4 inch) in diagonal leg span, which is the size given in the title, unsexed with roughly a 50\/50 chance of male or female.

They are also intelligent enough to remember if you do something that startles them, leaving them to \"hold a grudge\" until you can earn their trust again. Working with these animals is to build a relationship with them. CBB specimens tend to be more trusting and will even learn to \"enjoy\" human attention.

This adaptation is used to help them climb trees, acting like a \"lifeline\" in case they fall. If threatened, the tail can also be used as a whip, or curled up completley so these animals can make a quick getaway. This group of lizards also has elongated fingers and long sharp claws that can easily grab onto any wood surface, and each hand or foot has special black scales that act as a cushion for when they are moving through the trees. Tree monitors will also use their hands to reach into crevices and pull out grubs, or hiding insects with their fingers and claws. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese animals are majestic, and about as close as you can get to modern day dinosaurs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have the pleasure of working with ALL 3 species we made stickers of, so we can share them with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e***All of our artwork is owned only by Exotics Unlimited and cannot be purchased anywhere else.

At a medium to fast growth rate expect roughly 2 to 3 years to full size, faster kept warm and fed well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep them at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This one matters more than most keepers expect. Kept cool they grow very slowly and do noticeably less, and we have consistently seen them do better warm. If your home sits in the 60s, plan on a heat source for this species rather than a shelf in the living room. Get the temperature right and every other part of keeping one gets easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the substrate lightly damp and let the surface layer run drier. This is a tropical species, so it tolerates damp far longer than an arid tarantula would, and consistency matters more here than any number on a gauge. Good ventilation is critical. Cross ventilation works best, but ample top ventilation can also be effective as long as the enclosure is not over-misted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey length should run about a quarter of the leg span, roughly the width of the carapace. At three eighths to half an inch that is a 3\/32 to 1\/8 inch cricket or a small roach nymph. Feed at least once a week. Pre-killed prey works well so they are sure to find it, and a well fed animal is far more likely to build and maintain its trapdoor than a hungry one that roams instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile and quick to disappear into its trapdoor when it feels disturbed. This species relies on camouflage and retreat, never on standing its ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations for the Brazilian Jewel Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Setup Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e We spent years testing enclosure designs for this species, different cage sizes, different ventilation, different bark, before we noticed something: the setups where the bark already had natural insect holes in it were the ones where spiders built trapdoors fastest. So we started drilling those same holes into cork and vials ourselves, and every seladonia we gave that setup built a trap within a week. Insect boreholes in wood are what a wild seladonia starts its trapdoor in, and drilling our own reproduces that same cue. We spent more years refining that design before we ever released it to customers, and once we saw how much trouble people had replicating it on their own, we started shipping it with the animal instead, hand cut and set up before every seladonia goes out the door. We have worked with this species for over six years now, and helping so many customers raise their seladonia all the way to adulthood has been one of the most rewarding parts of running this business. We feel our cages have played a big part in that, and the design has since been widely copied across the hobby, close to an industry standard for keeping this species now.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCork Bark Is Essential:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species will not behave naturally without proper flat cork bark to build on. Sterile natural cork from day one helps them settle and web faster, and a light dusting of fine bark or sphagnum on the surface helps them blend the trapdoor in. We stock the same sterile cork we use ourselves on our dry goods pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuccess Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a delicate species, and three things carry it: consistent moisture, correctly sized prey, and minimal disturbance. Get those right and the rest takes care of itself. Anyone who has raised Avicularia or Caribena slings already has the skill set, and the keepers who thrive with this species are the ones who ask questions. We are here for exactly that, which is why this species is our specialty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard To Spot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the trapdoor is built it can be very hard to find, which is the whole point of it.

Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about Typhochlaena seladonia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do when I first get my tarantula?\u003c\/strong\u003e As soon as it arrives, mist the enclosure so there is clear moisture on the webbing, substrate, or enclosure wall, and keep an eye on it until you actually see it take a drink. Shipping is dehydrating, and an arboreal especially will not settle in or start eating until it has rehydrated properly, so this is the one step worth not skipping on day one. Once you have seen it drink, let it settle in undisturbed for a few days before offering its first meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for a Typhochlaena seladonia Brazilian Jewel spiderling measuring around three eighths to half an inch (3\/8 to 1\/2 inch) in diagonal leg span, which is the size given in the title, unsexed with roughly a 50\/50 chance of male or female.

'Oaxaca', is a New World tarantula from Oaxaca, Mexico, a terrestrial dwarf species. Adults have black legs with white striping down them, a copper orange carapace, and black and orange coloration on the abdomen. This species is sexually dimorphic: mature males develop solid white legs, while females keep the white striping down their legs into adulthood. This color comes in around 2 inches in diagonal leg span. As with the rest of the Davus genus, females live around 10 years while males mature faster and typically live only 2 to 3. Like other Tropical Terrestrial Dwarfs, this species is a heavy webber that can be a little skittish, quicker to retreat into its web than stand its ground, though it is not an aggressive tarantula by nature.
