The Black and Red Jewel from Brazil – Classic and Durable
Nhandu coloratovillosus, also originating from Brazil, is another valued terrestrial tarantula, very similar to N. chromatus in terms of appearance and temperament. Known as the Red and Black Tarantula or N. coloratovillosus, it is distinguished by its velvety black body with distinct red or orange hairs, especially on the abdomen and legs. It is a moderately fast species with a generally calm disposition, hardy and long-lived, excellent for beginners and intermediate keepers.
Natural Habitat and Geographical Origin
N. coloratovillosus inhabits dry and semi-dry areas of Brazil, where it digs deep burrows in the ground or uses natural crevices and tree roots as shelter.
Morphology and Size
Adult Nhandu coloratovillosus specimens reach a leg span of up to 16-18 cm (6-7 inches). Their body is massive, covered with dense, velvety black hairs, with distinct, long, red or orange hairs on the abdomen and legs. It may lack prominent knee stripes, which distinguishes it from N. chromatus, and the hairs are more uniformly distributed.
Behavior and Character
N. coloratovillosus is a species with a calm and stable temperament. It is a spider that rarely shows aggression, preferring to escape or kick urticating hairs from its abdomen. These hairs can cause significant irritation and itching on human skin. Bites are rare, and their venom is mild and does not pose a serious medical threat to humans, comparable to a bee sting.
Feeding Habits
In nature, their diet consists of insects and other small invertebrates. In home keeping, they should be fed appropriately sized feeder insects, such as crickets, cockroaches (e.g., Argentinian), or locusts. Adult specimens can be fed once a week or once every two weeks, and their appetite is impressive.
Lifespan
Female Nhandu coloratovillosus are long-lived and can live for 15 to 20 years under optimal keeping conditions. Males have a much shorter lifespan, typically 3 to 5 years.
Keeping Requirements
Terrarium: A spacious terrarium of at least 35x25x25 cm is required for an adult specimen. Good ventilation is crucial.
Substrate: A layer of substrate about 10-15 cm deep, such as coconut fiber or a mixture of peat and vermiculite, should be placed at the bottom of the terrarium. This retains moisture well and allows for burrowing.
Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 22 and 26°C.
Humidity: The recommended humidity is 60-75%. This can be maintained by misting part of the substrate every few days.
Hide: A permanent hide (e.g., a piece of bark, half a coconut) should be provided.
Water: A shallow water dish should always be available and refilled regularly.
Suitable for Hobbiists
Nhandu coloratovillosus is an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate keepers. Its calm nature, attractive appearance, impressive size, and hardiness make it one of the most satisfying and spectacular species.

Trinidad Tiger Tarantula – A Fast and Active Predator
Psalmopoeus cambridgei, originating from Trinidad, is one of the most recognizable and popular New World arboreal tarantulas. Known as the Trinidad Tiger Tarantula or P. cambridgei, it stands out with its beautiful, greenish-brown coloration with distinct, darker patterns resembling tiger stripes, especially on the abdomen and legs. It is a species known for its high speed and defensiveness, intended for experienced keepers.
Natural Habitat and Geographical Origin
P. cambridgei inhabits the humid tropical forests of Trinidad. It leads a typically arboreal lifestyle, building its web tunnels and shelters in tree hollows, under bark, in dense epiphytic plants, or in crevices.
Morphology and Size
Adult Psalmopoeus cambridgei individuals reach a leg span of up to 15-18 cm (6-7 inches). Their body is slender, covered with dense, greenish-brown to olive-colored hairs, with characteristic darker, irregular patterns forming stripes on the legs and abdomen. The carapace often has a metallic, green sheen.
Behavior and Temperament
P. cambridgei is a species known for its high speed and agility. It is a defensive spider that, when threatened, quickly retreats to its hideout, but if cornered, it will not hesitate to attack. Its venom is stronger than that of terrestrial New World tarantulas and can cause pain, numbness, and nausea, although it is usually not life-threatening. It does not possess urticating hairs, which is a characteristic feature of the genus Psalmopoeus. For this reason, no direct contact with this species is recommended, and all manipulations should be carried out with the utmost caution.
Feeding Habits
In nature, their diet consists of insects and other small invertebrates that they hunt in the tree canopy. In home captivity, they should be fed appropriately sized feeder insects, such as crickets, cockroaches (e.g., Turkish, Argentine), or locusts. Adults can be fed once a week or once every two weeks.
Lifespan
Female Psalmopoeus cambridgei are long-lived and can live from 10 to 15 years under appropriate keeping conditions. Males have a significantly shorter lifespan, usually 2 to 4 years.
Husbandry Requirements
Terrarium: Due to their arboreal lifestyle, a tall terrarium (so-called "arboreal") with dimensions of at least 20x20x30 cm for juveniles and 30x30x45 cm or more for adults is necessary. Excellent ventilation is crucial.
Decor: Provide numerous branches, pieces of bark, or bamboo tubes to serve as platforms for nest building and hiding.
Substrate: A thin layer of substrate (5-10 cm) at the bottom of the terrarium (e.g., coco fiber) will help maintain humidity.
Temperature: The optimal temperature is 24-28°C.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity at 70-85% by misting the terrarium daily.
Water: A shallow water dish or regular misting of drops on the terrarium walls.
Suitable for Hobbyists
Psalmopoeus cambridgei is a species intended exclusively for experienced and responsible keepers. Its extreme speed and defensiveness require the utmost caution, knowledge, and experience in safely handling tarantulas. This is not a species for beginners.
Why Choose This Species?
If you are an experienced keeper and are looking for a tarantula with spectacular, greenish-brown coloration with tiger stripes, dynamic and active arboreal behavior, and an impressive presence, the Trinidad Tiger Tarantula is an ideal choice. It is a true ornament that will provide many years of fascinating observations.
