This species originates from   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Southeast Asia<\/span><span class=\"s2\">where it inhabits warm and rather humid habitats. At the same time, it exhibits very active and fast behavior, which clearly distinguishes it from many quieter tarantulas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Optical appearance <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Heteropoda javana<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">  rather simple, but very elegant. The body usually shows   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">brown to beige shades<\/span><span class=\"s2\">while the legs often appear slightly banded. This allows the spider to adapt perfectly to its surroundings while remaining well camouflaged. In addition, the flat body shape ensures that it can easily squeeze into narrow crevices.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">In terms of behavior, the species is extremely agile. It moves quickly, reacts in a flash and actively hunts. It not only waits for prey, but also runs around and actively searches for food. This is precisely why this species is particularly suitable for owners who like to     <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Observe active animals<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Young animals tend to remain hidden at first, while adults are much bolder. As they get older, they show themselves more often and actively use their surroundings. At the same time, you should work carefully, as these spiders react extremely quickly and can flee.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A terrarium from about <\/span><span class=\"s1\">20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 30 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\">whereby the height plays an important role. Because   <\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Heteropoda javana<\/strong> likes to climb<\/span><span class=\"s2\">you should definitely <\/span><span class=\"s1\">pieces of bark, branches and structures<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  build in. This allows the animal to make optimum use of the available space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A suitable substrate is a mixture of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">forest humus and some sphagnum moss<\/span><span class=\"s2\">as this combination retains moisture and remains loose at the same time. This creates a stable microclimate that has a positive effect on behavior. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Keep the terrarium slightly moist by <\/span><span class=\"s1\">sparingly spraying several times a week<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. At the same time, you should make sure that there is no waterlogging, as the animals like moisture but do not need permanently wet conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Feeding takes place about <\/span><span class=\"s1\">once a week<\/span><span class=\"s2\">suitable food insects are offered. As the animals are very active hunters, they usually accept food without any problems. Nevertheless, remove uneaten food animals so that the animal is not stressed.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Heteropoda javana<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> convinces by <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Speed, activity and an exciting hunting behavior<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. This makes it ideal for keepers who want a lively terrarium and at the same time are looking for an animal that is regularly visible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heteropoda javana &#8211; Observable alternative to the tarantula Heteropoda javana belongs to the giant crab spiders (Sparassidae) and brings a lot of movement into the terrarium.
