Stunning Coloration: A bright green carapace paired with bright blue legs makes this one of the most colorful beginner-friendly species in the hobby. Docile Temperament: Extremely docile, a great choice for both new and experienced keepers alike. Rare in the Hobby: Still uncommon compared to other similarly colored species, making it a real find for collectors. How should Aphonopelma mooreae be kept? Adult Size: Reaches about 6 inches at full leg span. Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security. Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F. Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily. Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out. Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week. Temperament: Very docile, one of the calmest and most beginner-friendly species available given how colorful it is. Are there any additional notes or considerations? Slow Grower: This species takes its time reaching full size, so treat it as a long term project rather than a quick payoff. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
