FL Giant Huntsman Care

[DankBonkRipper76]

Anyone know how to care for a Giant Huntsman Spider? FL Variant atleast. Cause I know it needs humitity, as I live in florida. And it requires an arboreal setup, right?

Definitely needs an arboreal setup and like you said probably benefits from humidity due to its range. I don’t have one so take my advice with a grain of salt. I just most of the time try to replicate it’s habitat. Their fast too so be careful!

Is this Heteropoda venatoria or a different species of huntsman?

It will probably do just fine with your ambient humidity, but I would give places to climb and hide.

It's Venatoria, yes. I found him nearly dead from a scorpion. And thanks for the tips! I'll incorporate arboreal and hiding places.

I keep my venatoria in a one gallon, well ventilated pretzel jar with a little substrate, a hint of moss, and a vertical slab of cork. I mist every few days and casually throw in a cricket every week or so. She seems quite content.
