Im thinking of getting an Eupalaestrus campestratus (pink zebra beauty) any advice?

[Dave S]

Hey all I'm looking to expand my collection to 2 lol. ( I'm new)
I' thinking of the pink zebra beauty.
Looks like aside from the arboreal/ terrestrial difference the care seems to be close to my pink toe.
I'm planning to get it from Jamie's T's from the good reviews I've read here.

Any advice will be great I'm still thinking on it so no rush
Thanks

They are a very calm tarantula. You want more horizontal space than vertical. No more than about one leg span from the top of the substrate to the top of the enclosure. For instance, if she is 5", no more space than that. That just means lots of substrate, which she may appreciate if she likes to burrow. You can keep her substrate dry, just keep a nice big water dish full. A nice dark hide is a must for all ts. That's about all that I can think of. They are really beautiful, slow growers.

I have two PZB and they are great Ts they are very calm mine stay out in the open and are very active like t girl said a dark place for them to hide and more floor space than height is important but not to much Ts like to feel safe and too much room can make them feel unsecure and will cause them to go into hiding and have feeding problems.

I know of a good website that lists out the cons and pros of having one, if you'd like to check out Caring for a Eupalaestrus Campestratus (Pink Zebra Beauty)

Not really the best information out there. They also recommend a. versicolor as a good beginner tarantula and they are far from it.
