Product description
Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli (Tiger Ornamental Tarantula) Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli is a striking ornamental out of India, with black and cream banded legs and a violet-purple sheen concentrated around the chelicerae (mouthparts) and front of the carapace (head), fading into a grey-brown tone further back. The abdomen carries a mottled tan, olive, and cream pattern. Ornamental "Pokie" species love to stretch out and rank among the largest arboreal tarantulas, so they get fairly large and make for impressive display animals. Grab this old world tarantula for sale if you want a genuinely large, striking Poecilotheria. Why do hobbyists keep Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli? Stunning Coloration: Black and cream banded legs paired with a violet-purple sheen around the face and front carapace, fading into grey-brown, with a mottled tan and olive abdomen. Large Size: Reaches 6 to 8 inches at full leg span, among the larger Poecilotheria species. Great Display Species: Loves to stretch out, giving keepers a great view of its full size and pattern. How should Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli be kept? Adult Size: Reaches about 6 to 8 inches at full leg span. Enclosure: Provide a tall arboreal setup at least 3 times the leg span in height and 2 times the leg span in width and depth, with vertical cork bark reaching near the top. Temperature: Keep between 78 to 82 degrees F. Humidity: 65-75%, with good ventilation to prevent stagnant air. Water: Provide a shallow water dish placed in an elevated position if possible. This is more natural for arboreal species and helps prevent crickets from falling in and drowning. 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: Defensive and fast, it carries a medically significant bite typical of old world species, so this is a display only animal. We do not encourage or recommend handling with any of our tarantulas, old world species especially. Are there any additional notes or considerations? Large Presence: Among the bigger Poecilotheria species, giving it real display value once fully grown. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
