\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Widely popular as the Purple Earth Tiger, the\nCyriopagopus sp hati hati is a spectacular old-world tarantula with dark\npurplish hues along its body. This tarantula features dark, multi-coloured\nfemurs and a striking, more light-coloured carapace. As spiderlings, they build\nsmall webbed burrows at the base of trees and rocks. Over time, they assume the\nfull characteristics of arboreal bird spiders. Since they are old-world\ntarantulas, the Purple Earth Tiger might not be an ideal pet for newbie\nhobbyists. You can, however, pet them if you\u2019re already experienced in handling\nold world bird spiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientific\nName<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographical distribution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cyriopagopus sp hati hati is\nindigenous to the Western parts of Sumatra. They are also found along other\nsemi-tropical areas of Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preferred natural habitat <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since these\nspiders are native to the Indonesian regions, they prefer staying in naturally\ntropical climates. While the ideal temperature should range between 25 degree\nto 28 degree Celsius, the humidity should be somewhere around 70% to 80%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preferred food in the wild <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Purple\nEarth Tiger is an avid eater and it usually thrives on a diet of crickets,\nworms, termites and parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personality <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These tarantulas are usually aggressive in nature. Due to this reason, they might defensively react towards any disturbance whatsoever. Although they do not kick out urticating hair, being bird spiders, they are likely to bite you if they are threatened. While the intensity of their venom hasn\u2019t been assessed yet, it is deemed to be high to moderately venomous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeding as a pet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As pets, you can feed them a meal of crickets, earthworms, and other small insects. Unlike other bird spiders, the Purple Earth Tiger is a casual eater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
