Mastigoproctus Giganteus - Size M

DIMENSIONS: Size M, keeps on size no larger than 6 cm as an adult (excluded tail)

SOURCE: USA, Mexico

AMBIENTAMENT VALUES: temperature 27-28 degrees Celsius during the day, 23-25 degrees Celsius night humidity 75-85%

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: small terrarium or faunabox, 25/30x30x30; 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.

ABITUDINI: arachnid purely ditching

AGGRESSIVITA: 2 – docile although this temperament has been noted that varies between specimens of the same species

GROWTH RAPIDIITY: average with life expectancy of about 6/7 years

STATUS CITES: no
