Thrixopelma pruriens

The carapace of Thrixopelma pruriens has a shiny olive green to golden color and contrasts beautifully with the red hairs on the abdomen.

The substrate height should be around 10cm, as the animals like to dig burrows. A root or cork bark provides the perfect start to digging a cave.

The substrate should be kept half moist, but waterlogging should be avoided. A water bowl is also a must for Thrixopelma pruriens.

It is an uncomplicated species that eats well and also grows well.
