Honduran Curly Hair
Range: Central America
Experience level: Beginner
Size: Fully grown about 15 cm
Growth rate: Medium
Type: Terrestrial, burrower
Temperament: Very docile and calm
Housing: Use a terrarium that will alow at least 10 centimetres of substrate.
Retreat/hide: Use about 8 centimetres of peat moss. Place a bark for a starter burrow/hide, this is a opportunistic burrower. When they reach about 7 cm they stay out in the open which make them a good display tarantula.
Water requirements: A shallow water dish and/or weekly water spray.
Diet: Crickets, small roaches.
Comments: This is a very hardy tarantula and easy to care for. It is also a very active tarantula always rearranging the enclosure. Very interesting to study them. This is definitely a very good beginner tarantula.
