Cyriopagopus spec.”hati hati”

Cyriopagopus spec. “hati hati”, known for its remarkable presence and impressive character, is an arboreal tarantula from Southeast Asia. The name “hati hati”, which translates from Indonesian as “be careful”, indicates the caution required when caring for these fascinating tarantulas. This species is characterised by its striking colours and dynamic behaviour, making it a highlight in any terrarium.

The Cyriopagopus spec. “hati hati” has a robust body with long, strong legs that enable it to navigate skilfully in its arboreal habitat. The basic colouration of this spider can range from deep brown to a dark grey, often accentuated by shimmering metallic blue or purple tones on the legs and carapace, which are particularly effective under direct light.

A vertically orientated terrarium measuring 20 x 20 x 30 cm is ideal for keeping this tree-dwelling spider, offering plenty of climbing opportunities such as branches, pieces of bark and robust plants. This decoration allows the spider to fulfil its natural climbing instincts.
