It originates from India and lives there mainly on trees, which is why it belongs to the  <\/span><span class=\"s2\">arboreal tarantulas<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  counts. Keepers therefore need sufficient height and suitable climbing and hiding places when setting up the terrarium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another characteristic feature of <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Poecilotheria regalis<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  is the light-colored transverse band on the underside of the abdomen. This makes it easy to recognize the species and at the same time reliably distinguish it from other species of the genus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In this volume of the series <\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8220;Art for Art&#8221;<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> explains <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Boris F.

The author provides practical knowledge so that both beginners and experienced terrarium keepers can benefit from this guide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The book first shows which <\/span><span class=\"s2\">terrarium size is suitable<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  and how keepers can set up the terrarium optimally. The author also explains which   <\/span><span class=\"s2\">what technical equipment makes sense<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> and how owners can create stable housing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The guide also describes in detail how to <\/span><span class=\"s2\">species-appropriate nutrition and care<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  of the animals. Readers will learn how to care for their tarantulas correctly and at the same time avoid typical husbandry mistakes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another focus is on the <\/span><span class=\"s2\">breeding of the animals<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. The author explains how owners can get their tarantulas to breed successfully and how they can  <\/span><span class=\"s2\">raise healthy young spiders<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The books in the series <\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8220;Art for Art&#8221;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  each present one terrarium animal in particular detail. Each volume offers detailed, practical care instructions and answers important questions about keeping and breeding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The volume is <\/span><span class=\"s2\">colorful throughout, generously illustrated and clearly structured<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.
