Why do hobbyists keep Ornithoctoninae sp. 'Vietnam Silver'?
- Stunning Coloration: Takes color in a direction unlike anything else currently in the hobby.
- Rare in the Hobby: One of the most elusive species available, selling out quickly whenever it's offered.
- Great Feeding Response: Puts on a real show at feeding time.
How should Ornithoctoninae sp. 'Vietnam Silver' be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 4 inches or more at full leg span.
- Enclosure: This is a fossorial species, so provide an enclosure roughly 2 times the leg span in footprint, 3 times the leg span in height, and substrate deep enough for stable burrows.
- Temperature: 75-82°F, reflecting this species' warm tropical Vietnamese origin.
- Humidity: Moderate to high. Keep the lower substrate layers slightly damp with the top allowed to dry a bit, never swampy.
- Water: Provide a water dish near the burrow entrance. Fossorial species benefit from ambient moisture and will use a dish placed at substrate level.
- 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: Fast and defensive, it carries a medically significant bite typical of old world species, so this is a display only animal. We do not encourage or recommend handling with any of our tarantulas, old world species especially.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Neat Burrows: Makes genuinely tidy, well-constructed burrows, part of what makes this species fun to watch settle in.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
