Why do hobbyists keep Eupalaestrus campestratus?

• Stunning Coloration: A black-brown body accented with pale pink hairs and distinctive black-and-white banding near the knees.

• Long Lived: Females can live for decades with proper care, making this a genuine lifelong companion.

How should Eupalaestrus campestratus be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 to 6 inches at full leg span.
• 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: Extremely docile, one of the calmest and most beginner-friendly species available.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Plays Dead: This species is known for playing dead when handled or during rehousing, a normal behavior rather than a sign of distress.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
