Behaviour and Temperament: Generally a fossorial terrestrial species. Keepers report that the Mandarina tends to dig or retreat to burrows when disturbed, but will come out onto the substrate surface when comfortable. Some reports say the species shows good feeding response and growth. As with any tarantula, temperament may vary between individuals and because this species is not well documented formally, caution is advised.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Origin is reported as Peru in some trade listings. The species appears to be terrestrial/fossorial (ground-dwelling) rather than strictly arboreal, and the substrate should allow for burrowing or hiding behaviour. Recommended conditions: temperature around 20-24 °C, humidity in the 70-80% range. Provide a hide, a deep substrate layer several centimetres and a shallow water dish. Ventilation should still be good but substrate should retain some moisture for humidity.
Feeding: As with most New World tarantulas, feed appropriately sized live insects. Juveniles may be fed more frequently; adults less so. Because formal captive care info is minimal, apply standard tarantula keeping feeding regimes.
Additional Information: Because this is a species labelled sp. Mandarina, its exact taxonomic identity is unresolved. Colouration may change with age, the “mandarin” orange tones may become more pronounced as the specimen matures.
