Native to Central America, particularly Costa Rica, Psalmopoeus reduncus is an arboreal species that thrives in forested habitats. Its appearance is characterized by a mix of orange, black, and brown hues, making it a visually appealing addition to any collection. This species constructs tube-shaped webs in elevated spaces and demonstrates rapid movements when feeling threatened. Females can live over 12 years, while males have a shorter lifespan of 3–12 years.
Behavior and Temperament: Known for their agility, these tarantulas are quick and may exhibit defensive behavior if provoked. However, they are not typically aggressive and can adapt well to captive conditions.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Provide a vertical enclosure with plenty of climbing space and hiding spots to mimic their arboreal lifestyle. Ensure moderate humidity levels (70–80%) and maintain temperatures between 22–28°C.
Feeding: This species primarily feeds on a diet of insects, including crickets, mealworms, and small roaches. Spiderlings require smaller prey items, while adults can handle larger feeders.
Additional Information: Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent mold and maintain a healthy environment. Despite their speed, they can make an excellent species for intermediate tarantula keepers due to their fascinating behavior and striking appearance.
