The Brazilian black & white Tarantula (Nhandu coloratovillosus)
Quick stats: |
 The N. coloratovillosus |
|
Species Information: This is a fairly large grassland species from Brazil, similar to A. geniculata. |
|
Feeding: Pinhead crickets are all this little guy can handle right now. |
| Housing: This spider lives in a large vial that was used for shipping some other creature. The substrate is about an inch of potting soil. There's a dime for it to dig under and for beads of water to collect on (as well as for scale in pictures). I try to keep the humidity around 70-75%. It's usually about 80-84°F in my spider room, where they are kept. Because it's still really too small for a water dish, humidity is maintained by misting and moist substrate. The spider has constructed a small burrow, but nothing substantial. |
|
Temperment: Can't say yet, but sould grow up to be mostly calm, but a hair kicker. |
