Scientific\nName<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHapalopus Sp. Columbia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGeographical distribution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe\nColumbian Pumpkin Patch is native to the Columbian regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preferred natural habitat of the Pumpkin Patch Tarantula <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLike we\nalready mentioned, the Pumpkin Patch spiders are indigenous to the Torrid\nregions of Columbia. The climate here changes with the elevation, and the\ntypical average temperature ranges from 24 degrees to 27 degrees Celsius. There\nis slight seasonal variation, and the temperature is usually warm and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preferred food in the wild <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSince these\ntarantulas are voracious eaters, they are likely to eat any small insect that\nthey spot in the wild. Their typical diet ranges from baby crickets to\nearthworms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pumpkin Patch Tarantula Personality <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThese\ntarantulas aren\u2019t really shy, and they boldly sit out in the wild, waiting to\npounce upon a prey. When you keep them as pets, you will find them moving\naround restlessly in their terrarium. Yes, in case you haven\u2019t already guessed,\nthese species can get quite skittish. In almost every case, you\u2019ll find them\nbolting to their dens at the slightest disturbance. So, while opening the\nterrarium for feeding them, do make sure you complete the chores with utmost\ncare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeding as a pet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLike we\nalready mentioned, these species are voracious eaters. When I got them for the\nfirst time, they were too small to devour baby crickets. So, I made it a point\nto cut the crickets in half, making it easier for them to eat. The Columbian\nPumpkin Patch will eat pre-killed insects at almost every instance. However,\ntheir appetite might not be them while they are molting. At this stage, you\nwill find them avoiding their otherwise favorite meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
