Aphonoplema seemanni. How to?

[Alexander Abrams]

Well, as predicted by some forum members, my collection is starting to grow with an order for an Aphonopelma seemanni sling which should be arriving any day now, Can I ask members how they would treat this young spider, heat, humidity etc. Should I mist the container or keep it dryer?

Thanks
Alex.

Hiya,
As for temperatures, they do not require high temperatures (of course what's high is relative), I'd say keep it as your other tarantulas. This species lives in very deep burrows which retain humidity, so I'd provide as deep substrate as possible and keep it a bit moist.

Good luck and enjoy your new tarantula when you get him/her!

They come from the South US to Costa Rica, in Nicaragua and, recently noted, some areas in Guatemala, also Panama within tropical forests so the temps/humidity should really be akin to these areas
i.e.
temp 70 to 85° F.
Humidity 75 to 80%.
