Females and males are beautiful! One of the most sought after species in the hobby! One of the only Pamphobeteus species that both males and females are beautiful! The females will max out at about 8" and have an attitude to match. An interesting thing about this species is that they have spines on their rear legs that they will use for warding off predators and have an amazing feeding response. This species could easily take down small lizards, rodents and potentially birds if given the chance. They also can be territorial so proper care needs to be taken when handling this species.  
  
NOTE: We don't advise you to feed vertebrates to your pet tarantula unless you are experienced because they can potentially hurt your pet. 
Names & Classifications

Genus: Pamphobeteus Species: solaris Type: Terrestrial Temperment: Defensive Endemic Location: Colombia Adult Size: 8"
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.
