Why do hobbyists keep Megaphobema robustum? Stunning Coloration: Dense bright orange setae across the abdomen and legs contrasted against a dark carapace (head) and femurs. Large Size: A genuine giant with real presence in any collection. Great Feeding Response: Puts on a real show at feeding time, striking prey from the mouth of its burrow. How should Megaphobema robustum be kept? Adult Size: Reaches about 7 inches or more at full leg span. Enclosure: This species is a burrower, so provide deep substrate along with logs or a hide it can dig beneath. Plan for an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height. Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F. Humidity: This species prefers higher humidity than many other new world terrestrials, so keep the substrate consistently damp. 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: Defensive, and equipped with spines on the rear legs used to ward off predators, a unique defense not seen in most other tarantulas. Are there any additional notes or considerations? Unique Defense: Rear leg spines set this species apart from most other terrestrials, a genuinely interesting trait to know about. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
