Avicularia juruensis Morphotype 1 is a New World tarantula known for its elegant coloration, long light-brown hairs and whitish leg rings. It originates from the Amazonian region of South America.
Behavior and Temperament: Generally shy and quick-moving, it may flee when disturbed and can use urticating hairs defensively.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Provide a well-ventilated arboreal enclosure with vertical climbing space, cork bark or a similar retreat, and a water dish. Maintain moderate humidity while ensuring good airflow and avoiding persistently wet substrate.
Feeding: Feed appropriately sized live insects such as crickets and roaches. Remove uneaten prey, especially during moulting.
Additional Information: Juveniles may look different from adults. Morphotype identification can be confusing in the hobby, so reliable locality and breeding records are valuable.
