What do you know about them? I can’t find that much information about them. I need to know about their behavior and care.

Possibly one of the most talked about t on the boards.

Faster growth than most beginner species, great appetite, too. They get 5-6" and do well on dry, but tend to appreciate a little moisture.

Not always much for burrowing, but they do dig holes and move sub around a lot.

Food motivated, but typically pretty docile, but some can be defensive.

You might have better luck searching using their prior name Brachypelma vagans - same animal just got moved into a new genus rather recently so much of the info you'll find with the old name.

You have to be kidding me, it's one of the most kept Ts and you can't find info?? What are your specific search terms. I'll enter them in google RIGHT this second! I bet my friends at google could find info in less than a second, and in fact they did! ;) :rolleyes:

What specific info do you need? Capture3.JPG

Great description. That's what I've found with mine. Both of mine have a cave they'll bolt to but they are pretty active at night. My larger one goes through hair kicking phases. Generally not a zoomie kind of T.

I absolutely love mine

Bad attitude (its a plus in this case lol), amazing appetite, visually appealing

My juvenile recently burrowed for the first time since being put in this enclosure over 4 months ago

She's given me a lot of good/funny videos during feedings. Probably my favorite tarantula I own

Keep water dish full and occasionally overflow. Great appetite and fairly quick growth rate. Mine has been a hair kicker, and has went though stages of threat poses and striking at tongs, water, water dish,etc.

Generally one of the moore feisty Tliltocatl and one of the bigger. I keep them not compleatly dry, little more damp than say a B hamorii. They are (as said) pretty good eaters as well, even as adults.. One of my favourites
