This rare Indian tarantula dazzles with metallic blues, purples, and even gold under the right light — hence the “LSD” nickname. A true eye-melter, H. devamatha is fossorial and secretive, but worth the wait when it emerges in full psychedelic glory.
Behavior and Temperament: Skittish, reclusive — not aggressive but very shy
Habitat and Environment Needs: Prefers a fossorial setup. Substrate: 5–6 inches of slightly moist substrate (coco fiber/topsoil). Humidity: 70–80% — maintain with light misting and good airflow. Temperature: 75–80°F (24–27°C).
Feeding: Feed on Crickets, roaches, mealworms.
