Chilobrachys huahini is a striking tarantula native to Southeast Asia. Its earthy fawn and brown coloration helps it blend into its natural environment. This species is renowned for its extensive web-building behavior, often carpeting its enclosure with dense silk. As an old-world species, it lacks urticating hairs but compensates with a defensive attitude and quick movements.

Behavior and Temperament: Highly defensive and fast-moving, this tarantula is not recommended for handling. Chilobrachys huahini is a prolific webber, creating tunnel-like retreats, and will often retreat when disturbed. However, it may strike defensively if cornered.

Habitat and Environment Needs: Native to tropical environments, this species thrives in enclosures with a substrate depth of at least 9-20 cm for burrowing. Maintain moderate to high humidity levels (70-80%) and temperatures between 22-28°C (72-82°F). Provide cork bark or other hiding spots to mimic its natural habitat.

Feeding: Feed on a diet of live insects such as crickets, roaches, and mealworms. Juveniles should be fed 2-3 times per week, while adults can be fed weekly. Ensure prey size is appropriate to the tarantula’s size.

Additional Information: This tarantula is a prolific breeder and relatively hardy, making it popular among experienced keepers. Due to its speed and defensive nature, it is better suited to advanced hobbyists.
