Typhochlaena seladonia is a beautiful tarantula from Brazil, small when adult (about 6 cm) and docile in character. However, it requires expert care and a well structured and organized terrarium
SIZE: S 1cm LS; it is maintained on dimensions not exceeding 6 cm as an adult LS (legspan)
ORIGIN: Brazil
AMBIENT VALUES: temperature 25 ° -28 ° C daytime, 20-23 ° C nighttime humidity 75-85%
FEEDING: small insects for spiderlings (they prefer drosophile) and, from size M, very small feeding insects (crickets, cockroaches, worms) are good. Small size isopods, quite voracious. In particular crickets are indicated as they are highly protein. Requires weekly calcium supplements (in water or through the food offered), to encourage the formation of its exoskeleton during the moulting process
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: medium-sized terrarium or faunabox, 30x30x40; 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 5 cm high peat and / or coconut fiber, along 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 daily sprays or every 2 days are necessary, as the substrate must still be dry but not excessively, creating different humidity areas. The aeration of the terrarium is very important and provide numerous points to favor the arboreal character of the tarantula
