Why do hobbyists keep Tapinauchenius casanare?

How should Tapinauchenius casanare be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 5 inches at full leg span, a mid sized arboreal typical of the genus.
• Enclosure: Provide a tall arboreal setup with height taking priority over floor space, vertical cork bark, and strong ventilation.
• Temperature: 70-80°F.
• Humidity: 70-85%. Key to this genus is not letting the enclosure dry out too much.
• 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: Fast and defensive, typical of the genus, this is a display only species best suited for keepers with some prior experience.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Keep It Humid: This genus is genuinely sensitive to drying out, so consistent moisture matters more than with many other arboreals.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
