juvenile Nhandu coloratovillosus /Brazilian Black and White

Nhandu coloratovillosus, commonly known as the Brazilian Black and White tarantula, is a striking species native to Brazil, renowned for its distinctive black and white coloration and large, robust body. This tarantula is popular among enthusiasts due to its impressive appearance and manageable size, typically reaching a leg span of around 15-20 cm. It prefers humid, forested habitats and requires a terrarium that mimics its natural environment with adequate moisture and hiding spots. While generally docile, it can be defensive if threatened, so handling should be done with care. Proper care involves maintaining appropriate temperature (around 24-28°C), humidity levels (around 70-80%), and providing a diet of appropriately sized insects.
