Why do hobbyists keep Thrixopelma sp. 'Apasanca'?

• Stunning Coloration: Bright blue femurs and pink striped legs paired with a bright orange abdomen and a pink ring around the carapace.
• Docile Temperament: Fairly docile, consistent with other Thrixopelma species.
• Rare in the Hobby: New to the USA, a genuine find for collectors who like being early.

How should Thrixopelma sp. 'Apasanca' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 4 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: Fairly docile, though like other Thrixopelma it can be a ready hair-kicker when disturbed.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Genuine Novelty: Newly introduced to the USA, still uncommon and exciting for collectors.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
