Amazonius germani (Orange Tree Spider Tarantula)

Amazonius germani (Orange Tree Spider Tarantula)

This gorgeous orange species is a really underrated South American arboreal, and perhaps the most orange true arboreal in the entire hobby. It stays on the smaller side, maxing out at about 5 inches, and keeps that brilliant orange coloration all the way into adulthood rather than fading with age.

Why do hobbyists keep Amazonius germani?

• Stunning Coloration: A brilliant, fluffy orange coloration that holds up into adulthood rather than fading, arguably the most orange true arboreal in the hobby.
• Rare in the Hobby: A genuinely underrated species that isn't seen nearly as often as it deserves.
• Fast Grower: Grows at a solid, active pace typical of the genus.

How should Amazonius germani be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 inches at full leg span.
• Enclosure: Provide a vertically oriented arboreal setup with excellent cross ventilation, vertical cork bark, and mostly dry substrate.
• Temperature: Keep between 75 to 80 degrees F.
• Humidity: Keep substrate mostly dry, with periodic misting to maintain adequate humidity.
• Water: Provide a shallow water dish placed in an elevated position if possible. This is more natural for arboreal species and helps prevent crickets from falling in and drowning.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
• Temperament: Defensive and fast, lacking urticating hairs and relying on speed instead. This is a display only species best suited for keepers with some prior experience.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Genuinely Underrated: Despite its striking, consistent orange coloration, this species doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves compared to other arboreals.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
