Hysterocrates gigas or giant baboon spider is a tropical fossorial tarantula from Cameroon, with an aggressive nature and suitable for more experienced users; it feeds on meal insects and requires medium temperature and humidity.
SOURCE: Cameroon
AMBIENTAMENT VALUES: temperature 25-28 degrees Celsius during the day, 20-23 degrees Celsius night humidity 75-80%
ALIMENTATION: small insects for spiderling (prefer drosophile) and, from size M, meal bugs (grills, cockroaches, worms, locusts) of adequate size are fine. Medium size isopods, quite voracious. In particular crickets and locusts are indicated as highly protein.
TIP CONS: medium-sized terrarium or faunabox, 30x30x30; for spiderling it is very good to insert these in the classic specific containers until they reach an appropriate size and then be moved to a terrarium, always small.
The substrate should be at least 10 cm peat and/or vermiculitis high, along with tropical plants, bowl with ever-present water or hydrogel and a natural or artificial shelter where it will burrow during the day or to consume prey. Very light daily spraying is required, as the substrate must still be dry but not excessively.

GROWTH RAPIDIITY: average, compared to other varieties
