Why do hobbyists keep Tliltocatl sabulosus?

• Stunning Coloration: A velvety black body with red hairs on the abdomen, bordered by a striking golden ring around the carapace.
• Docile Temperament: Calm and hardy, a great pick for beginners and experienced keepers alike.
• Great Display Species: Usually out and visible rather than hiding, making it a genuinely good display animal.
• Long Lived: Females can live up to 30 years with proper care.

How should Tliltocatl sabulosus be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 to 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 70 to 75 degrees F.
• Humidity: Moderate, keep the substrate damp enough that it can dry out somewhat but is never bone dry. Offer a water dish at all times.
• 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?

• Slow Grower: Takes its time reaching full size, so treat this one as a long term project.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
