🏠 Recommended terrarium

They thrive in a terrarium measuring at least 20 x 20 x 25 cm, with good ventilation and sturdy climbing branches. Adding natural vegetation such as pothos or ferns creates a safe environment where they can display their natural behavior and hunting style.

  • Nymphs: every 1–2 days

  • Adults: every 3–4 days
