A unique opportunity to acquire a sexed pair (male and female) of the rare Mexican species Dugesiella anitahoffmannae. This tarantula is prized for its velvety dark coloration and calm demeanor.
Dugesiella anitahoffmannae is an extraordinary species native to Mexico, closely related to the Aphonopelma genus. Known for its robust build and deep, obsidian-like coloration, it is a true gem for any collector. These spiders are known for their slow growth rate and incredible longevity, typical for New World terrestrial species from arid regions.
Temperament and Venom: This species is generally docile and slow-moving. It is not prone to biting; instead, it relies on its urticating hairs or retreating into its burrow when threatened. Its venom is considered mild and medically insignificant to humans, making it a suitable choice for hobbyists who prefer a less aggressive pet.
Husbandry: As a terrestrial species, it requires an enclosure with a significant amount of substrate for burrowing. A mix of coco fiber and sand is recommended to mimic its natural environment. Temperature should be kept between 24–28°C, while humidity should remain relatively low (around 50-60%). A small water dish should always be present. They are hardy eaters, accepting various feeder insects like roaches and crickets.
