Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 5 inches at full leg span, a mid sized arboreal typical of the genus. Enclosure: Provide a tall arboreal setup with height taking priority over floor space, vertical cork bark, and strong ventilation. Temperature: 70-80°F. Humidity: 70-85%.

This is more natural for arboreal species and helps prevent crickets from falling in and drowning.

Keep It Humid: This genus is genuinely sensitive to drying out, so consistent moisture matters more than with many other arboreals. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
