Why do hobbyists keep Pamphobeteus sp. 'Tigris'?

• Stunning Coloration: Matures into a deep, jet-black adult, a striking and dramatic look within the genus.
• Large Size: A true giant bird eater reaching a max leg span of around 8 inches.
• Rare in the Hobby: A genuinely new and limited species, with captive breeding efforts still ramping up.

How should Pamphobeteus sp. 'Tigris' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 8 inches 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: Keep a full water dish available at all times, wider and deeper is fine.
• 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, nothing larger than the abdomen.
• Temperament: Defensive and best suited to keepers with prior experience given the rarity and size of this species.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Genuine Rarity: Captive breeding efforts for this species are still relatively new, so availability remains limited.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
