How should I keep a Full Green Tarantula?
For this particular creature, you can start with the Terrestrial Terrain small enclosure if under a ¼in -1.2in Spiderling (sling), and when they get to be about 1in the size, you will want to either go to the Terrestrial Terrain Medium, or Terrestrial Terrain Large enclosure. Feed them as slings once a week, twice if their opisthosoma (abdomen) looks small, but if the opisthosoma is wider than their prosoma (pneumothorax) then wait a couple of days to feed. For juveniles or adults, stick to feeding once a week, nothing larger than their opisthosoma. Make sure to keep a water dish at all times full, wider and deeper is preferred.
How long could a Full Green Tarantula live?
Females are believed to live upwards of 15+ years in captivity, and even males can live upwards of 2-5 years of age. All estimates are based on multiple sources.
