The species is native to Venezuela and captivates with its intense golden-yellow coloration and exceptionally active behavior. Although it has a body length of about 3 to 4 cm Although it remains relatively small, it immediately catches the eye in the terrarium.

Its widely branching webs are particularly impressive. While many tarantulas remain hidden during the day, Neoholothele incei “Gold” is often seen outside its burrow. This makes for fascinating observations and makes it an excellent display specimen.

Impressive webs and active behavior

Neoholothele incei “Gold” spends a lot of time covering its terrarium with fine webs. This creates burrows, tunnels, and pathways that are constantly being expanded. At the same time, the spider uses its web as a safe refuge and as a starting point for hunting.

The Right Terrarium

For a single animal, a terrarium measuring at least 20 × 20 × 20 cm. Since this species likes to spin and makes full use of the available space, the terrarium should provide plenty of structures.

The following are particularly suitable for this setup:

• Cork bark
• Repto Tree Vines
• Forest humus
