Why do hobbyists keep Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Costera'?

• Stunning Coloration: A dark body set off by flame-orange abdominal striping and a subtle green iridescent sheen on the carapace.

• Rare in the Hobby: A genuinely uncommon Chilean dwarf that most keepers haven't had the chance to work with.

How should Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Costera' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 3 inches at full leg span, a true dwarf with real color for its size.
• 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: Calm and manageable, one of the more approachable Chilean dwarves in the hobby.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Compact Display Species: Its smaller adult size makes this an ideal pick for a compact enclosure without sacrificing color or personality.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
