Guide to keeping the Indian ornamental tarantula in a terrarium

Poecilotheria regalis

The tarantula species Poecilotheria regalis (also known as the tiger tarantula or Indian tree tarantula) has already been very well studied in the past. It is widely used in terrariums, which is due to the relatively low purchase costs. Another plus point is that P. regalis can be clearly recognized by the light transverse band on the underside of the abdomen and cannot be confused with other species. In this volume of the “Species by Species” series, Boris F. Striffler explains exactly what you need for species-appropriate keeping and successful reproduction.

Species by species, the books in this series introduce you to the most popular terrarium animals. Each volume offers you detailed, practical care instructions and you will find all the information you need to successfully breed your animals. All important questions from the required tank size to terrarium set-up, technical equipment, species-appropriate nutrition and disease prevention are answered with numerous tricks and tips. Experienced, long-standing breeders reveal how you can encourage the animals to reproduce and raise healthy young.

All this in full color, generously illustrated and attractively designed just about your terrarium animal – species by species!
