A strikingly beautiful Tarantula from Borneo, this Tarantula is fossorial so will require a traditional fossorial setup with good substrate depth with humidity around 70. This is an old world Tarantula so not ideal for a new keeper, however it’s less reactive than some of its Asian fossorial cousins so considered more of an intermediate level.
