Neoholthele incei Female + Male (4.5cm)

The appearance and characteristics of Neoholthele incei, also known as Trinidad Olive, is one of the most fascinating dwarf New World bird spiders. Despite its small size, this spider catches the eye with its metallic, olive-gold sheen on the carapace and distinctive "Christmas tree" pattern on the abdomen. The offered pair, measuring 4.5 cm, is already almost fully grown, making it ideal material for starting the adventure of breeding this species. Behavior and venom This bird is extremely dynamic and fast. Although it has scabbing hairs, it rarely uses them, preferring a lightning-fast escape to the nest. Its venom is weak, which, combined with its interesting character, makes it a popular choice for breeders. The greatest phenomenon of N. incei is its ability to breed in clusters (communally). Given adequate space and constant access to food, these spiders can share a terrarium, forming a common giant web. Breeding conditions In the wild, these spiders inhabit the humid forests of Trinidad, so humidity of 75-80% should be maintained in the terrarium. As a terrestrial species with a tendency to dig, they require a few inches of substrate (such as coconut fiber with an admixture of peat). Neoholthele incei is an outstanding weaver - in a short time it can cover the entire interior of the terrarium with a thick, layered web, creating tunnels and nests in it. The optimum temperature is 24-27°C, with the species tolerating short drops in temperature well.
