ALIMENTATION: size-appropriate insects (grills, cockroaches, worms, locusts) medium size isopods
TIP SET UP: terrarium or faunabox 30x30x45 or even taller, substrate 5 cm peat and/or coconut fiber, along with tropical plants, and a natural or artificial shelter, preferably in cork. Daily sprays to keep moisture constant and promote further hydration from the foliage. Important laminar air flow, to obtain a very important ventilation for this tarantula. There is no need for high humidity as described above, so by doing some tests, you get the moisture necessary for proper maintenance, to be increased slightly in the mute and/or pressed phases.
