From k8inverts,
February 2017, about 1 inch toe to toe
This
species is a terrestrial, new world tarantula
originating in Northern Chili with
urticating setae on abdomen. At
maturity about 6 inches DLS (diagonal leg
span). Life expectancy reportedly 20-25 years for females and
males about 5 years
Temperament is
unreliable. At one feeding time
it will calmly take the cricket and
the next it may jump on the
tongs with all eight legs. I have in
no way provoked it. Quite amusing as an immature but may
not be at six inches.
Spiderling kept at
60-65% humidity and room temperature
~74°- 77°
Adults at 40-55%? 55-65? These
humidity suggestions differ from
author to author.
