Brief description Harpactira pulchripes:

Harpactira pulchripes is probably one of the most attractive tarantulas in the hobby. The colors of this African tarantula appear from FH4.The terrarium size for adult females should be a cube measuring 30 × 30 × 30 cm. Spiderlings that are still rearing can be kept in BraPlast boxes or rearing terrariums for this length of time. The substrate height should be high enough for the animals to build a burrow. A mixture of forest humus and sand in a ratio of 1:1 is suitable.

The optimum humidity is between 50 and 70 %. A small plant that is watered regularly is enough to create these conditions.

The temperature should not rise above 27 °C, even in summer, as Harpactira pulchripes reacts sensitively to excessively high temperatures. In winter, this species can also be kept in an unheated room at up to 5 °C without any problems.

Harpactira pulchripes eats and grows quickly and without problems. The animals usually become adults after just 2 years.
