Typhochlaena seladonia - Brazilian Jewel Tarantula,




The Brazilian Jewel Tarantula, also known as Typhochlaena seladonia, is a small and incredibly beautiful tree-dwelling tarantula from Brazil. Its eye-catching metallic green-blue colors and detailed markings make it a popular choice for pet owners. Female adults can grow up to 2 inches across, with males being a bit smaller. These tarantulas enjoy a semi-humid environment, but be careful not to make it too damp, as that's a common mistake. Good airflow in their enclosure is also important.

Uniquely, the Brazilian Jewel Tarantula is one of the few arboreal trap-door tarantulas available as pets. They create amazingly camouflaged trapdoors on tree bark and branches. As ambush predators, they patiently wait for prey to approach their expertly crafted burrow before quickly striking from their hidden door. Watching them grow is a fascinating experience, with females taking around 2 years to reach maturity.

    I have a fear of some spiders and this spider is so gorgeous, I’m considering getting one to help me get over my fear. Been doing lots of research on owning and caring for one.
