🏠 Enclosure
- Use the enclosure dimensions, heating, humidity, and safety values from the structured care profile and full care guide.
🪨 Enclosure furniture
- 12 cm of compacted coco fibre, clean soil mix, or a shape-holding soil/clay blend
- Cork hide or partly buried retreat that the spider can modify
- Shallow water dish and one lightly moisture-buffered area at the hide base
- Stable, low decor with clear floor space and no hard fall hazards
- Keep the setup simple enough to service without repeatedly exposing the spider
💡 Lighting
- No UVB or specialist lighting required; a normal room day-night rhythm is enough
- Photoperiod: 10-12 h of ambient light; no night light
- Keep plant or display lighting weak, indirect, and outside the enclosure where possible
- Avoid bright hot lamps that dry the rocky-upland-style retreat
🌡️ Temperature
- Basking spot: 23-26 °C
- Warm zone: 21-26 °C
- Cool zone: 19-22 °C
- Night: 18-22 °C
💧 Humidity & water
- Target 50-70% humidity, with a shallow dish of fresh water always available
- Keep the surface mostly dry and the hide base or one lower side lightly moist
- Keep juveniles in smaller ventilated containers with a clear dry-to-moist gradient
- During premolt, raise local retreat moisture toward 70-80%, not the whole enclosure
- Avoid constantly wet substrate, stagnant air, and prolonged bone-dry conditions
🪳 Feeding
- Feed according to the prey type and schedule in the structured care profile; remove uneaten prey promptly.
🩺 Health — warning signs
