Typhochlaena seladonia

Typhochlaena seladonia belong to the jewels among the tarantulas. Their appearance resembles a sparkling diamond and you fall in love at first sight. The colors run in themselves and sparkle in all facets of the rainbow.

 

The animals do not need much space. You should offer them a small cork pipe, which should stand diagonally in the terrarium. From this cork tube she removes the lichens and mosses to use these materials to build her web with a built-in trapdoor on the cork tube. The humidity should be between 75-80%. This can be achieved without problems with a little soil and moss.

 

Sometimes Typhochlaena seladonia go badly to offered food animals. They have a very defensive nature and sometimes a fast flying or jumping feed animal is too much stress for them. However, Typhochlaena seladonia go very well to freshly killed food animals. You simply put them near the trapdoor.
