Stunning Coloration: A jet black body contrasted by bright orange highlights on the legs, one of the sharpest color combinations among arboreals. Heavy Webber: Builds extensive silk tunnels and retreats, quickly filling in its enclosure. Great Feeding Response: An enthusiastic eater that rarely turns down a meal outside of premolt. Fast Grower: Grows at a solid pace, rewarding for keepers who enjoy watching quick progress. How should Psalmopoeus irminia be kept? Adult Size: Reaches about 6 inches at full leg span, a substantial arboreal with real presence. Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with vertical cork bark and anchor points for webbing. Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F. Humidity: Keep the lower substrate slightly moist while allowing upper surfaces to dry between waterings. Good ventilation matters more than maximizing moisture for this species. 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, and similar feeders 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 alert, quick to throw a defensive posture when disturbed rather than stand still. Unlike many new world species, it lacks urticating hairs and relies on speed and display instead, so this is a display only animal best suited for keepers with some experience. Are there any additional notes or considerations? No Urticating Hairs: This species relies entirely on speed and defensive posturing rather than hair flicking, a notable difference from most other new world tarantulas. Retreat Building: Often builds silk-lined retreats low near the substrate as well as up in its cork bark, blending both styles. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
