Megaphobema robustum - Colombian Giant Redleg
Megaphobema robustum – Colombian Giant Redleg This terrestrial tarantula is known for its bold red legs and unique defensive behavior, often spinning in circles or using quick bursts of speed when disturbed. Native to Colombia, it prefers a humid environment and enjoys burrowing. A great display species for those who appreciate unpredictable and skittish tarantulas. Care Details: Temperature: 75 to 85°F (24 to 29°C). Tarantulas in warmer environments eat more, grow faster, and molt quicker. This care flexibility makes tarantulas easy to maintain. Humidity: 75-85%. Water dishes are not necessary, but if used, they pose no harm. I personally do not use them. Housing: Terrestrial. A 1 oz to 4 oz deli container with needle-made ventilation is ideal for babies. Free containers available at checkout—just make sure to request one, or it won’t be included. For juveniles and adults, an enclosure 2 to 3 times their size works best, with deep substrate for burrowing. Diet:I personally give them
