Why do hobbyists keep Cyriocosmus sp. 'Oronegro'?

• Stunning Coloration: A jet black body and legs set against a reflective golden heart marking, sometimes appearing red depending on the light.
• Heavy Webber: Builds noticeable webbing for a species of its size.
• Rare in the Hobby: A genuinely uncommon dwarf species that stands out even among other Cyriocosmus.

How should Cyriocosmus sp. 'Oronegro' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 2 inches at full leg span, a true dwarf species.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security.
• Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
• Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
• Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
• Temperament: Docile but fast, quick to retreat rather than stand its ground.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• High Contrast Look: The golden heart marking against the jet black body is genuinely striking for such a small species.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
