he Aphonopelma anax, commonly known as the Texas Tan Tarantula, is a popular pet for beginners thanks to its docile nature and relatively easy care requirements. Originating from the southern United States, this species is known for its attractive tan coloration and slow, calm behavior.
Housing
A 5-10 gallon enclosure is sufficient for an adult Texas Tan tarantula. Provide a substrate of at least 7 cm (3 inches) deep, such as coconut fiber or peat moss, to allow burrowing. Include a hide or shelter to make your spider feel secure.
Temperature and Humidity
Maintain temperatures between 24-29°C (75-85°F) and keep humidity around 60-70%. Light misting once a week helps maintain humidity without soaking the substrate.
Feeding
Feed your tarantula live insects like crickets, roaches, or mealworms once every 7-10 days. Remove uneaten prey within 24 hours to keep the enclosure clean.
Handling and Behavior
The Texas Tan is generally calm but handling should be gentle and infrequent to avoid stress. This tarantula rarely flicks urticating hairs and is an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking a low-maintenance, beautiful pet
