Enclosure and care
Prepare a secure terrestrial enclosure with floor space, a low fall distance, a hide, and burrowable substrate. Provide a clean water dish and ventilation. Offer appropriately sized live prey, remove uneaten prey, and reduce disturbance when the animal refuses food or prepares to molt.
Keeper safety and arrival
Do not treat hardy or typical species behavior as permission for routine handling. Individual responses vary, and falls, defensive hairs, or a bite are possible. Use a catch cup for transfers. Prepare the enclosure before delivery, monitor tracking, and review Shipping Add-Ons and Tarantulas.
