Cyriocosmus leetzi (Venezuelan Dwarf Beauty) 2" FEMALE
The Cyriocosmus leetzi, a dwarf New world terrestrial tarantula from Columbia, has a mahogany carapace with a “Spider-Man” like insignia on its abdomen. The legs of the Cyriocosmus leetzi are vertically lined with thick white markings adding to the overall beauty of this tarantula. Husbandry Recommendations This is a terrestrial spider, so as it grows, it will require an enclosure which offers more floor space than vertical space. The rule-of-thumb for the width or length or the enclosure is 3-4x leg span minimum. However, as a small spiderling, we recommend this spider be housed in a dram vial. This would be a suitable enclosure for several months up to a year. The vial should have several ventilation holes added to the top and/or sides. This can be done with a drill, a leather awl, or soldering iron. Our choice of substrate is a unique blend of coco and other organic materials - Hunter's Premium Substrate. This substrate will retain humidity, allow for sturdy burrows, and resist mold
