Why do hobbyists keep Thrixopelma cyaneolum "Red"?

• Stunning Coloration: A royal blue coat across the carapace (head) and legs contrasted by a red to orange haired abdomen, a striking natural combination.
• Docile Temperament: Very docile and easygoing, a comfortable species for keepers of any experience level.
• Rare in the Hobby: Not yet as well known as it deserves to be, making it a fun find for collectors who like something different.

How should Thrixopelma cyaneolum "Red" 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: Very docile and easygoing, one of the calmer species available with this kind of color.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Underrated Pick: This species deserves more attention than it currently gets given how docile and colorful it is.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
