They are accomplished burrowers and will create extensive tunnel systems in their enclosure. This species is known for its defensive hissing behavior, produced by rubbing specialized hairs on their legs together to create a loud warning sound.

They are voracious feeders with massive appetites and will readily take down large prey items including insects, small vertebrates, and other appropriately sized food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large terrestrial setup with at least 6-8 inches of substrate for deep burrowing; provide a large hide or cork bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75-82°F with slight nighttime drop acceptable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75-85% with good ventilation; keep substrate moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large crickets, roaches, or appropriately sized insects 2-3 times weekly for adults; known for massive appetites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExperience Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate to advanced due to size, urticating hairs, and specific humidity requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Theraphosa apophysis arrives healthy and ready to thrive, backed by our \u003cstrong\u003eLive Arrival Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e.
