About this Tarantula!

This female Brazilian Jewel tarantula is currently 1.5+ inches in diagonal leg span and has been raised for well over a year. She’s a confirmed female and should be ready to breed within 3–6 months, making her an excellent candidate for future breeding projects. Her feeding response is fantastic, and she thrives on a diet of one medium cricket per week. To ensure your tarantula’s success, I am including a pre-made drilled cork bark pieces and substrate with your purchase. This custom cork bark comes with multiple pre-drilled trapdoors, allowing her the freedom to create additional trapdoors as she pleases. Additionally, these trap doors will be various sizes, ensuring shell have access to a trapdoor that’s large enough to house a full-grown adult! This setup eliminates the hardest part of keeping this fascinating species—your only task is to move her into the enclosure and enjoy!

Care recommendations 

The Brazilian Jewel tarantula (Typhochlaena seladonia) prefers a dry environment, with light misting on the sides of the enclosure once a week to provide hydration. Make sure her enclosure has plenty of cross ventilation to ensure her substrate drys out before re-spraying her enclosure! Additionally your female will create a trapdoor using sphagnum moss and cork bark flakes! I will include both of these with your order. Please make sure the surface layer of her substrate consists of these two materials! With that being said if you do those simple tasks your beautiful Brazilian Jeweled tarantula will thrive in your care!
