No grooming needed for this tarantula. Care focuses on maintaining proper humidity and ventilation. A substrate should be kept lightly moist but never waterlogged, and the enclosure must have good airflow to prevent mould and mites. A shallow water dish should always be available. A spider will moult periodically, and during this time it should not be disturbed.35

A tall enclosure of about 25x25x35 cm is suitable for an adult, with at least 18-22 cm of compact, moisture-retentive substrate such as a peat and coco coir mix. Daytime temperatures should be 22-28°C, with a slight drop at night. Humidity should be kept around 70-80%, with the substrate lightly moist but not wet. Good ventilation is essential. Provide a cork bark hide and anchor points for webbing. This species is not suitable for beginners due to its speed, defensiveness and potent venom.236

Feed appropriately sized live insects such as crickets, roaches and locusts. Spiderlings can be offered small prey or pre-killed portions every 3-5 days, juveniles every 5-10 days, and adults every 7-14 days depending on body condition. They are voracious eaters and will often take down larger prey. Always ensure prey is appropriately sized and remove any uneaten prey to avoid stress.254

This is a solitary species and must be kept alone. It is not a social animal and will not tolerate company. Handling is never recommended due to its speed, defensiveness and medically significant venom. It is best observed rather than interacted with, and keepers should use caution during maintenance to avoid bites.234

A történet hol kezdődött az egész

A Filippin narancsvörös tarantula was first described in 1999 by Günter Schmidt as Selenobrachys philippinus. In 2012, it was placed in the genus Orphnaecus, but in 2025, based on new morphological and molecular analyses, it was moved back to its own genus Selenobrachys. It is native to the Philippines, particularly Negros Island, where it lives in deep burrows in tropical forests. It has been kept in the hobby for its striking colour and interesting burrowing behaviour, though its speed and defensive nature make it a species for experienced keepers.17
