Pamphobeteus spec. “Machala” – color change from juvenile to giant <\/span><\/h3>\n

Pamphobeteus spec. “Machala” <\/span><\/strong> is one of the most exciting tarantulas of all, because hardly any other species shows such a clear <\/span>such a clear visual change in the course of its life<\/span>. This is what makes them so interesting for many terrarium keepers.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a young spider it immediately stands out due to its <\/span>orange-black abdomen with diamond pattern<\/span> on. However, this conspicuous pattern disappears with increasing age. At the same time, the spider develops completely differently depending on its sex. While <\/span>females are strongly built and rather brown in color<\/span> are brown, males show <\/span>males display a spectacular purple to violet coloration<\/span>which looks particularly impressive in the terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n

For keeping an adult animal, we recommend a terrarium with at least <\/span>30 \u00d7 40 \u00d7 30 cm<\/span>. The <\/span>Base area more important than height<\/span>as this species hardly climbs, but lives mainly on the ground. Young animals are initially kept safely in <\/span>escape-proof cans<\/span>before they are used from about <\/span>FH5<\/span> can move to the final terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pamphobeteus spec. “Machala” <\/span><\/strong> loves to dig. Therefore the terrarium should have a <\/span>Substrate height of at least 10 cm<\/span> offer. The animals often lay their burrows under <\/span>cork bark or roots<\/span> which also serve as decoration.<\/span><\/p>\n

The substrate should be <\/span>half moist and half dry<\/span> be held. To do this, only one side of the terrarium is moistened, which creates a <\/span>Humidity of around 60-70 %<\/span> results. At the same time, plants help to create a more stable climate, <\/span>Avoid waterlogging<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>water bowl<\/span> must not be missing. The animals drink from it, but they also often use it as a <\/span>Storage space for waste or even skinning residues<\/span>. This behavior is completely normal and occurs in many ground-dwelling tarantulas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spider exhibits typical behavior: <\/span>During the day it usually stays in its burrow<\/span>while it becomes active in the evening. Then it goes in search of food or takes in water. If the animal is constantly restless during the day, it is worth checking the <\/span>Check husbandry parameters<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeding is uncomplicated, because <\/span>Pamphobeteus spec. “Machala” <\/span><\/strong> is a <\/span>greedy eater<\/span> and accepts food very reliably. As a result, it grows quickly and rapidly develops into a large and impressive tarantula. <\/span><\/p>\n

Due to their <\/span>rapid development<\/span>their <\/span>strong color change<\/span> and their <\/span>interesting behavior<\/span> is <\/span> Pamphobeteus spec. “Machala” <\/span><\/strong> one of the most exciting species for terrarium keepers and a real highlight in the tarantula terrarium. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
