The architecture of survival: basics of keeping the Linothele fallax tarantula
Keeping Linothele fallax is not only exciting, but also surprisingly easy as long as its specific needs are met. It requires a constant humidity of 80-90 % and feels particularly comfortable at temperatures between 24-26 degrees Celsius. An ideal home for the Linothele fallax is a terrarium measuring 30x30x30 cm. We recommend the ReptiPlanet terrarium, which can be opened from the top. This opening method makes it much easier to care for and handle the spider. The practical feeding hatch allows you to easily put the food animals into the terrarium without disturbing the tarantula.
Linothele fallax is a ground-dwelling tarantula species that prefers to lay its webs on the substrate. It is best to place a branch in the centre of the terrarium. The Linothele fallax uses this to spin its impressive and artistic-looking web. These webs are not only proof of the creative side of nature, but also serve as a hunting ground and retreat for the spider.
Die Fütterung ist unkompliziert. Sie frisst einmal wöchentlich, was die Fütterung sehr planbar und einfach macht. Die Futtertiere können fast so groß wie die Spinne selbst sein. Eine Wasserschale ist nicht nötig, denn die Spinne nimmt die benötigte Feuchtigkeit direkt aus ihrem Netz auf. Daher solltest du beim sprühen auch immer ausreichend das Netz befeuchten.
Decorative plants or other elements in the terrarium are not necessary, as the spider would weave them into its web. Instead, the minimalist setup emphasises the natural beauty and fascinating behaviour of the Linothele fallax.
With the right care and an understanding of their needs, you can enjoy their unique beauty and interesting behaviour every day while experiencing a piece of exotic nature in your home.
