ORIGIN: Namibia, Zimbabwe
AMBIENT VALUES: temperature 27 ° -28 ° C daytime, 20-23 ° C nighttime humidity 65-70%
FEEDING: small insects for spiderlings (they prefer drosophile) and, from size M, feeding insects (crickets, cockroaches, worms, locusts) of adequate size are good.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: medium-sized terrarium or faunabox, 30x30x30; for spiderlings it is perfectly fine to insert them in the classic specific containers until they reach an adequate size to be then moved to a terrarium, always of small dimensions.
The substrate should be at least 10-15 cm high peat and / or coconut fiber, together with tropical plants, a bowl with water or hydrogel always present and a natural or artificial refuge where it will burrow during the day or to consume prey. Very light sprays are required every 2 days, as the substrate must still be dry but not excessively, creating different humidity areas
