Why do hobbyists keep Theraphosinae sp. "Mandarin"?
- Stunning Coloration: A warm orange coloration with a soft blush overlay, giving it the "Mandarin" name.
- Docile Temperament: Calm and manageable, an approachable species for keepers of any experience level.
- Rare in the Hobby: A lesser known Peruvian terrestrial that most keepers haven't encountered.
How should Theraphosinae sp. "Mandarin" be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 5 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: Docile and manageable, a comfortable species to keep and observe.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Understated Beauty: The soft blush overlay on the orange base is subtle in photos but shows up nicely in person.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
