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 15 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.

The aeration of the terrarium is very important and provide numerous points to favor the arboreal character of the tarantula
