Why do hobbyists keep Tliltocatl albopilosus?
- Distinctive Appearance: Long, wiry, curly hairs across the legs and abdomen give this species a charming, unkempt look unlike any other tarantula.
- Docile Temperament: Gentle and easygoing, a big reason this species has remained a favorite for so long.
- Great Display Species: One of the more active tarantulas, genuinely interesting to watch as it goes about arranging its enclosure.
- Hobby Favorite: A true hobby staple that's introduced countless keepers to the world of tarantulas.
How should Tliltocatl albopilosus be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 6 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, though a bit skittish, more likely to flee or flick urticating hairs than stand its ground.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Genuine Hardiness: Very forgiving and easy to care for, a big part of why this species has stayed a top recommendation for beginners for decades.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
