Xenesthis sp. Light is an undescribed New World tarantula hobby form reported from Colombia. It is known for its impressive size, attractive colouration and distinctive appearance.
Behavior and Temperament: This species may be fast-moving and defensive when disturbed. It can flick urticating hairs and may bite if threatened. Handling is not recommended.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Provide a spacious terrestrial enclosure with deep, compactable substrate, a secure hide and a shallow water dish. Maintain a moisture gradient in the substrate and provide good ventilation to prevent stagnant, waterlogged conditions.
Feeding: Feed appropriately sized live insects such as crickets and roaches. Adjust prey size and feeding frequency to the tarantula’s age and body condition. Remove uneaten prey, especially before moulting.
Additional Information: The name Xenesthis sp. Light is an informal hobby designation rather than a formally described scientific species. Identification, adult size and care recommendations may vary between captive specimens.
