Neoholothele incei / Trinidad olive spiderlings

The Trinidad Olive Tarantula (Neoholothele incei) thrives at 22–26°C (72–79°F) with humidity around 70–80%. It is a fast-growing, terrestrial burrower native to Trinidad and Venezuela, and is known for heavy webbing and sometimes communal tendencies.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperature range: 22–26°C (72–79°F).

Humidity: 70–80% is recommended to mimic its tropical environment.

Ventilation: Good airflow is important to prevent mold, even with high humidity.

🕷️ Species Overview

Scientific name: Neoholothele incei

Common name: Trinidad Olive Tarantula (also has a golden morph).

Size: Females up to 3–3.5 inches leg span; males smaller at ~2 inches.

Growth rate: Fast, reaching maturity in just a few years.

Lifespan: Females up to 10 years; males around 2 years.

Temperament: Skittish but not overly aggressive; prolific webbers.

🏠 Enclosure & Habitat

Setup: Terrestrial burrowing enclosure with deep, dry substrate.

Webbing: They often cover the entire enclosure in silk, so provide anchor points (plastic plants or decorations).

Communal housing: While some keepers report success, others note eventual cannibalism after ~1.5 years, so communal setups carry risk.

🍽️ Feeding

Diet: Small insects such as crickets, roaches, or mealworms.

Behavior: Despite their small size, they readily take on larger prey.

✅ In summary: Keep your Neoholothele incei at 22–26°C with 70–80% humidity, provide a burrowing setup with webbing anchors, and be cautious with communal housing. They are hardy, fast-growing, and fascinating display tarantulas
