Perhaps the most sought after of the Phormictopus "color forms" this species of birdeater is a stunner. This species gets green femurs and a golden carapace in both males and females! 

This amazing species of Phorimictopus starts green as babies, then turns purple in the juvenile stage and then as an adult turns green & gold (when they are about 7" across). 

It is so fun to raise these, as they grow fast, eat well, and are very active.

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.
