Ornithoctoninae sp Haribon originates from the Philippines and belongs to the Ornithoctoninae subfamily, which includes many well-known Asian tarantulas. These spiders are typically terrestrial to semi-fossorial and will construct burrows or use hides as retreats. They are extremely fast and should be treated with caution during maintenance. Their impressive feeding response and beautiful dark coloration make them a desirable species among experienced tarantula enthusiasts.

Behavior and Temperament: This species is fast, defensive, and highly alert. When disturbed it may retreat quickly into its burrow, but it can also display threat postures. Like other Old World tarantulas, it does not possess urticating hairs and relies on speed and a defensive bite as its primary defense.

Habitat and Environment Needs: Provide a terrestrial enclosure with enough substrate for light burrowing (around 10–15 cm). A hide such as cork bark should be included so the spider can establish a secure retreat. Slightly moist substrate with good ventilation works best. Temperatures between 24–28°C and moderate to high humidity will help replicate its natural tropical environment.

Feeding: Ornithoctoninae sp Haribon is a strong feeder and will accept most feeder insects such as crickets, roaches, and other appropriately sized prey. Juveniles can be fed once or twice per week, while adults typically feed every 7–14 days.

Additional Information: The name Haribon is associated with the Philippine Eagle and is sometimes used by hobbyists to describe this Philippine tarantula species. Like many Ornithoctoninae tarantulas, it grows relatively quickly and spends much of its time inside its retreat or burrow.
