Psalmopoeus cambridgei - Trinidad Chevron (1-2cm)

The Psalmopoeus cambridgei, commonly known as the Trinidad Chevron tarantula, hails from the tropical forests of Trinidad and Tobago, as well as other parts of the Caribbean. This arboreal species is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by vibrant orange, black, and white markings that form chevron patterns along its body. In terms of care, the Psalmopoeus cambridgei thrives in a vertically oriented enclosure with ample climbing opportunities, such as tall terrariums or acrylic containers. A substrate mixture of coconut fiber and peat moss helps maintain adequate humidity levels, crucial for this species' well-being. Providing branches, cork bark, or artificial plants for hiding and climbing enriches their environment. Moderate to high humidity, around 70-80%, should be maintained by regular misting. With proper care, the Psalmopoeus cambridgei makes a captivating addition to any arachnid enthusiast's collection, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of tropical tarantulas.
