Omothymus schioedtei is a visually stunning arboreal tarantula native to the rainforests of Malaysia. It is admired for its large size, vivid metallic green carapace, and golden abdomen with striking black patterning. This species is an aggressive webber, creating elaborate silk retreats in its enclosure. Its defensive nature and fast movements make it a species recommended for advanced keepers only.
Behavior and Temperament: This tarantula is defensive and fast, often retreating to its webbed hide when disturbed. It may exhibit a defensive posture or attempt to flee when threatened.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Omothymus schioedtei thrives in a vertically oriented enclosure with ample climbing opportunities and hiding spaces. Include cork bark, artificial plants, and a deep layer of substrate to mimic its natural rainforest habitat. High humidity and proper ventilation are critical to its health.
Feeding: A voracious eater, this species readily consumes crickets, roaches, and other appropriately sized insects.
Additional Information: Known for its incredible size and beauty, Omothymus schioedtei can grow impressively large, with leg spans reaching up to 22 cm. It is a prized species among tarantula enthusiasts but requires careful handling due to its defensive nature and speed.
