If there does'nt appear to be any care sheets for Acanthoscurria jurenicola find out what region and country it comes fro mand find out what other species comes form around that area and should be able to care for them no problem. I wouldnt think they'd be much different from other Acanthoscurrias'. Try keeping at temp of 75-85C with humidity of 70-85%. Thats the way I kept with my A brockelhursti and lived perfectly happy, tho not a long life maturing at 18 monthes and lived for another 6 month giving life span of 2 years from a sling too

Depending on size feed as you would most T's and mist every other day.

Cheers for the advice

It seems pure speculation on your part to suggest it be kept in such a manor without practical experience. Where they come from geographically in the world, and under what conditions they can survive in under captivity are totally different. We have several Aphonopelma species native to our southwest and yet you cannot generalize on them collectively. Some are more moisture sensitive than others. Some chose totally different burrow habits and soil substrates even when living in realative proxcimity to others. If you yourself keep this species then it would seem advisable to pass along your experiences with it in captivity. If not then you too are simply speculating which may or may not be doing nothing more than passing along misinformation to someone that they themselves do not know.

All places in South America has a high or moderate level of Humidity, Aphonopelma is a completely different "kettle of fish" There in completely different region and the region that is more fluctuant. I admit I have not owned this exact species, but I do know my tarantulas I have been reading up and studyed on keeping tarantulas and everything tarantula related 2 years before I even aquired my first tarantula, I did every bit of reasearch on the net regarding reptiles and arachnids for years and have good knowledge for my age and have far more experience than you would know you've never met me so you would never know this, your forming an opinion on a statement that I never said was 100% and never wrote it in concrete. I Know about ecology and climate aswell. Fair enough my advice isnt 100% proven as I have never kept one but no one else has responded to this thread so at least im trying. Finally if you are not on a topic for the reason asked, whether it be advice or general talk on a subject. Dont join in the thread to ridicule and pound at others for there own opinions (opinion are like tongues everyone has one) it is patronising and quite maliciously thrown. Ive seen all your posts and ther is never anything positive or uplifting to the discussion.
