  • Species Overview: The Orange Tree Spider is a vibrant and captivating tarantula species known for its striking orange coloration and arboreal nature. Found in the dense forests of South America, this spider thrives in tree canopies, making it a fascinating pet for arachnid enthusiasts interested in observing natural climbing and web-building behaviors.

  • Appearance: This species boasts a distinctive orange hue across its body and legs, with a slightly darker abdomen. Its fuzzy appearance is complemented by fine hair that covers its body, adding to its striking visual appeal. Adult Orange Tree Spiders can reach a leg span of up to 5 inches, making them a medium-sized tarantula.

  • Behavior: The Orange Tree Spider is primarily arboreal, preferring to inhabit elevated areas in enclosures. It is known for its web-spinning capabilities, creating intricate silken retreats within its environment. While generally shy, this species can be quick and agile, making handling a challenge. It is best appreciated through observation rather than direct interaction.

  • Habitat Requirements: To mimic its natural habitat, provide a tall enclosure with plenty of vertical space for climbing. Include branches, cork bark, and other decor items that allow the spider to create webs and establish a retreat. Maintain a moderate humidity level and ensure good ventilation to prevent mold growth.

  • Diet: In captivity, the Orange Tree Spider thrives on a diet of live insects such as crickets, mealworms, and small roaches. Feed adults once or twice a week, and ensure that uneaten prey is removed to maintain a clean environment.

  • Lifespan: This species has a relatively long lifespan, with females living up to 10-12 years and males having a shorter lifespan of 3-4 years. Providing a stable environment with proper care and diet will contribute to the longevity and health of your pet spider.

  • Care and Maintenance: Regularly monitor the enclosure's temperature and humidity to ensure it meets the spider's needs. Mist the enclosure lightly to maintain humidity and provide a shallow water dish for hydration. Clean the enclosure periodically by removing uneaten food and debris to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.

The Orange Tree Spider is a visually stunning and engaging species that offers an opportunity to observe the behaviors of an arboreal tarantula. Its striking coloration and natural web-building instincts make it a unique addition to any arachnid collection.
