Spinosatibiapalpus sp Colombia belongs to the New World genus Spinosatibiapalpus, which is native to South America. These tarantulas are primarily terrestrial and spend much of their time near ground level, often utilizing natural shelters such as bark, burrows, or leaf litter. In captivity they are relatively hardy when provided with a stable environment, moderate humidity, and adequate hiding places. While they can display defensive behavior when threatened, they are generally manageable when left undisturbed.

Behavior and Temperament: This species is generally shy and prefers to retreat to its hide when disturbed. As a New World tarantula it possesses urticating hairs which it may flick when threatened. It is not typically aggressive but should still be handled with care and respect.

Habitat and Environment Needs: Provide a terrestrial enclosure with sufficient floor space and a substrate depth of approximately 8–12 cm. The substrate should be slightly moist but well ventilated to prevent mold. A cork bark hide or similar shelter is recommended to allow the spider to establish a retreat. Temperatures between 24–28°C and moderate humidity levels are ideal.

Feeding: Spinosatibiapalpus sp Colombia feeds readily on common feeder insects such as crickets, roaches, and other appropriately sized prey items. Juveniles can be fed once or twice weekly, while adults can be fed every 7–14 days depending on size and condition.

Additional Information: Species within the genus Spinosatibiapalpus are still relatively rare in captivity and are of interest to collectors who enjoy uncommon New World tarantulas. With proper care they can be hardy and rewarding species to maintain in captivity.
