Why do hobbyists keep Cyriocosmus perezmilesi?
- Stunning Coloration: A copper orange carapace and femurs contrasted against black legs and abdomen, with orange striping and a shiny orange heart marking on top.
- Heavy Webber: A prolific webber for such a small species.
- Great Feeding Response: A ferocious eater that will take down prey as large as itself.
- Rare in the Hobby: Not commonly available, making this a genuine find when it is.
How should Cyriocosmus perezmilesi be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 2 inches at full leg span, a true dwarf species.
- Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security.
- Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
- Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
- Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
- 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: Docile but fast, quick to retreat rather than stand its ground.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Big Color, Tiny Package: All this coloration is packed into a leg span under 2 inches, making it one of the most colorful true dwarves in the hobby.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
