Acanthroscurria Brocklehursti, commonly known as the Brazilian black and white tarantula, is a species of Spider best known for its aggressive feeding, distinctive colours and rapid growth.
It is sometimes called The Black and white giant because it can reach 18 to 23 cm in length. It is a large species and is not recommended for beginners until the second part of its life, when it is mature and has experience of manipulation by humans.
Feeding Acanthroscurria Brocklehursti
He doesn't need food very often, but if he has food he will definitely consume it. Crickets are recommended for this species of Spider. As it ages, so also in height and weight, it can be fed with small mice or large insects.Features Acanthroscurria Brocklehursti
It is a species of terrestrial tarantula that does not hide in a burrow like other species do. The terrarium is very important, more important is the surface on which the tarantula lives than the height of the terrarium. They have to sit on something that keeps a high level of moisture, such as coconut fiber.
It must be at least 3 to 8 cm thick to retain the moisture the tarantula needs. If it is still warm and low humidity then you can put a lid with water at the bottom of the terrarium to raise the humidity. The great black and white giant will feel best at a temperature between 27 and 30 degrees celsius and a humidity of 70-80%. The temperature gradient is important and necessary for the tarantula to regulate its temperature when it needs it.
The gradient can be achieved easily, as in the case of reptiles, you can put a heat source in one part of the terrarium and the animal will move from cold to warm temperature as it feels the need. Always check that the temperature is around 28-29 degrees, otherwise the tarantula may get sick.
manipulation is not recommended because it is an aggressive nature.
Reproduction Acanthroscurria Brocklehursti
Due to its more aggressive nature, reproduction is more difficult than in other species. When, however, this occurs the female lays around 1000 eggs.
