While this spider is unique for its beautiful hue, one of its defining aspects is its leg span of 4.7 inches. Although its leg span is small in terms of tarantula species, it still happens to have the largest leg span in its genus. These tarantulas are also quite active in nature, and a large part of their lifespan is spent in spinning webs. The Costa Rican Spider Rump is also known to be an avid burrower. So it is difficult to spot them in the wild as they spend a significant chunk of their time, burrowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tarantulafriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Davus-fasciatum-4-copy-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tarantulafriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Davus-fasciatum-4-copy.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tarantulafriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Davus-fasciatum-4-copy.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tarantulafriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Davus-fasciatum-4-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tarantulafriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Davus-fasciatum-4-copy.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scientific\nName<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Davus Fasciatum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Geographical distribution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Costa\nRican Tiger Rump is native to the Costa Rican region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preferred natural habitat <\/strong>of the Costa Rican Tiger Rump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These\ntarantulas prefer living in low humidity areas. Their ideal temperature ranges\nfrom 70 to 80 degrees and their average humidity ranges from 75 to 80 percent. Since\nthese spiders are avid burrowers, it is difficult to spot them in the wild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preferred food in the wild <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rican\nTiger Rumps eat voraciously. In the wild, they thrive on a diet of crickets,\nearthworms, and any other small insect that they happen to find. They are also\nknown to be scavengers, since they thrive on dead insects at various instances.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costa Rican Tiger Rump <strong>Personality <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rican\nTiger Rumps are usually an active specie that spends a large part of their time\nspinning webs and burrowing. These spiders, however, can be extremely skittish\nin nature. Since they are also quite defensive, you can expect them to kick\nback urticating hairs at the minimum disturbance. Due to their skittish nature,\nit is recommended to handle them with utmost care.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Feeding as a pet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Full grown adult Tiger Rumps are voracious eaters. So, you should try feeding them a generous number of roaches and pinhead crickets. Since they are also popular as scavengers, you can also feed them your pre-killed crickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zcimE5L4Tso?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lifespan both male and\nfemale <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rican spider rumps are fast growers. Typically, the\nmale spider has a lifespan of 5 to 6 years, while their female counterpart\u2019s\nlifespan ranges from 8 to 10 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pet enclosure type <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these spiders do not have a relatively big leg span, you should keep them in a 10 to 15, gallon, enclosure. Juveniles, however, can be kept in relatively small containers like a critter keeper or deli cup. A large enclosure for the adult will allow them to move freely with little to minimum obstruction.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pet enclosure habitat layout <\/strong>of the Costa Rican Tiger Rump<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these spiders are avid burrowers, the substrate for\nyour adult Costa Rican Tiger Rump should be at least 4 to 6 inches. For the\nmaterial, you can come up with a concoction of soil, peat moss and similar\nother products. While putting this tarantula in their enclosure, you should\nensure that they are kept in room temperature. Although the temperature can be\nincreased, the humidity should be consistently low. Additionally, it is a good\npractice keep a source of water available near the enclosure. You should also\nspray water or mist the enclosure at least a couple of times throughout the\nweek. If your tarantula is still at their juvenile stage, it is recommended to\nspray mist at least once every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mating \/ reproducing <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they are extremely skittish, mating a Costa Rican Tiger\nRump isn\u2019t always the easiest job. The process requires plenty of time, so we\nsuggest you to be patient through and through. When the male is introduced to\nthe female in its terrarium for the first time, the former would be extremely\ncautious. But be patient and give him the time to settle. Also make sure that\nthe environment doesn\u2019t have any vibration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breeding can be started four to six weeks after the female\ncounterpart has molted. If she molts during the pairing, there\u2019s a high chance\nof the eggs getting unfertilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the mating, separate the male and female\ncounterpart with tweezers. This should be done immediately after the mating.\nThe female will typically start with making her cocoon, within 1 to 3 months of\nthe mating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costa Rican Tiger Rump <strong>Development rate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rican Tiger Rumps are fast growers.
