Ornithoctoninae spec. „Vietnam Silver”

Ornithoctoninae spec. “Vietnam Silver” is a new and very special and unique tarantula in the hobby. The shimmering silver ground coloration makes the animal an absolute gem. Unfortunately our photos do not transport the color so spectacularly again. Due to their yellow hairs on the abdomen and legs, an additional color component catches the eye. The males have an unspectacular beige ground coloration with a stripe pattern on the abdomen. The offered juveniles have a brown ground coloration with red legs.

 

Ornithoctoninae spec. “Vietnam Silver” lives in nature under pieces of bark or in burrows. It spins in its living space and stabilizes it additionally. The substrate humidity should not be too wet. It is best to offer it two different moisture zones and place a piece of bark across it. This way it can choose the most suitable place. Spraying two to three times a week is sufficient to reach a humidity around 80%. As terrarium size a 30 × 30 × 30 cm cube is suitable for an adult animal.
