The Long Na Earth Tiger is a striking Asian Old World tarantula prized by collectors for its deep earthy coloration, fossorial lifestyle, and classic Earth Tiger temperament. Like other Ornithoctoninae, this is a species where the behavior is just as impressive as the appearance —fast, defensive, and an enthusiastic burrower.

Habitat and Environment Needs: Prefers a fossorial setup. Substrate: 6–8+ inches of compactable substrate. Humidity: 70–80%. Temperature: 74–82°F (23–28°C).
Feeding: Feed on Crickets, dubia roaches, locusts, mealworms, and other appropriately sized feeder insects.
Additional Information: Old World species — no urticating hairs
