Eresus elhennawayi: A jewel from Morocco and Algeria
Eresus elhennawayi is a fascinating spider that not only impresses with its unusual colouring, but is also a real eye-catcher in any terrarium thanks to its interesting behaviour. Its body is characterised by a black and white pattern, which is intensified by a bright orange to red prosoma, making it one of the most visually appealing spider species. It originates from the dry, sandy regions of Morocco and Algeria and requires a terrarium that simulates these conditions. A suitable substrate that mimics the natural living conditions is essential to provide the spider with a species-appropriate home.
The care of Eresus elhennawayi is relatively uncomplicated, but requires close control of temperature and humidity to create an optimal climate. Light, regular humidification of the terrarium is sufficient to ensure the necessary humidity. Due to its behaviour, which includes building small webs and fascinating mating rituals, the Eresus elhennawayi offers a lot of visual value and is particularly interesting for tube spider enthusiasts.
For species-appropriate keeping, the terrarium should be at least 20x20x20 cm in size and offer enough space for the spider and its webs. The terrarium should be furnished with various hiding places to offer the spider places to retreat to. This promotes the spider’s natural behaviour and well-being.
The Eresus elhennawayi is therefore an ideal choice for terrarium enthusiasts looking for an exotic and easy-care spider. Its impressive colouring and exciting behaviour make it an enriching addition to any terrarium.
