Basic needs of your Brachy:
* Hide* Water Dish
* Dry Substrate, Misting
* Decorations =)
Hide
Hides are essential on almost all Tarantulas, when they are stressed or threatened by us they only have two things in mind and that is Fight or Flee. You dont want your T to run outside its enclosure right? so better give them some hides to retreat when threatened.
Coconut shell, Broken pot or anything will do as long as they can hide inside
Water Dish
Brachypelma species loves to live in dry substrates which makes them rely on their food for water, so we need to provide them to water dish so they can drink if they need to and to avoid Bad molts which can cause death to our T. Water Dish also raises humidity in the enclosure of our tarantulas which aids them in molting.
Dry Substrate and Misting
Almost all Brachypelma Species are found in mexico which has a cool to hot climate so in setting up the enclosure for your brachys you need to keep their substrate dry.
although some Species needs to have a higher humidity try misting the other side of its substrate
Decorations
Of course we like to make the enlosures of our tarantula to stand out and be as attractive/cool as possible so we need to decorate it, common decorations used are:
Bones,
Skulls,
Driftwoods
Stones
As of now we dont have this on our for sale Section, but you can find some on your backyard if none then just be creative!
BTW i do not suggest this setup (too many branches Standing) Brachypelma species are terrestrials so they stay most of the time on ground not climbing like the arboreals
Thats the basic needs of your brachypelma buddy, so Good luck! happy invert keeping! :3
