Natural Habitat & Behavior

In their native Brazilian Atlantic rainforests, Ybyrapora sooretama inhabit tree hollows, palm fronds, and dense vegetation in tropical regions. They are accomplished web builders, creating elaborate funnel retreats with extensive webbing throughout their enclosure. This species is generally more docile than many other arboreal tarantulas, though they can be skittish and quick when startled. They are good feeders with healthy appetites and will readily take down appropriately sized prey items with speed and precision.

Care Requirements

• Enclosure: Tall vertical setup with minimum 12" height for adults; provide cork bark, hollow tubes, or bamboo sections for webbing anchor points
• Temperature: 75-82°F with slight nighttime drop acceptable
• Humidity: 70-80% with excellent ventilation to prevent mold and respiratory issues
• Feeding: Crickets, roaches, or appropriately sized insects once or twice weekly
• Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced due to speed and specific humidity requirements
