Why do hobbyists keep Nhandu tripepii?

• Stunning Coloration: A rare strawberry blonde color with extra long hairs, unlike almost anything else in the hobby.
• Large Size: A large, robust terrestrial with serious presence at full size.
• Great Display Species: Often visible out and about in its enclosure rather than staying hidden.

How should Nhandu tripepii be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 6 to 7 inches or more at full leg span.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a roomy hide included.
• 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: Nervous but bold, quick to flick urticating hairs if it feels disturbed, though generally not prone to standing its ground aggressively.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Distinctive Look: The long, fluffy strawberry blonde hair gives this species a genuinely unique appearance compared to most other terrestrials.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
