Why do hobbyists keep Thrixopelma sp. 'sevilla'?

• Stunning Coloration: A metallic grey body with peach lines down the legs, contrasted against an orange abdomen.
• Docile Temperament: Calm and manageable, consistent with the rest of the Thrixopelma genus.
• Rare in the Hobby: A newer species to the hobby that most keepers haven't had the chance to work with.

How should Thrixopelma sp. 'sevilla' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 5 inches at full leg span, in line with the rest of the genus.
• 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?

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