Native to West Africa, this large baboon tarantula features deep red-brown body coloring with distinctive red leg banding.\n\nCare Requirements: Provide an enclosure with 20+ gallons of space and 6–8 inches of substrate for burrowing. Maintain temperatures between 75–80°F with moderate humidity (60–70%). Feed appropriately-sized insects (crickets, roaches) every 7–10 days; juveniles grow rapidly and may require frequent feeding. Provide a water dish and minimal décor to reduce stress.\n\nTemperament \u0026amp; Handling: Fast and defensive, this species is not recommended for beginners. They possess potent venom and will bite if threatened. Observe from a distance rather than handling. Females can live 12–15 years; males 3–4 years.\n\nIdeal for experienced keepers seeking an active, visually impressive tarantula with straightforward husbandry needs.","brand":"Nova Reptiles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45745020403849,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6962\/4713\/files\/20260423_115136.jpg?v=1776978306","url":"https:\/\/novareptiles.com\/products\/tarantula-hysterocrates-gigas-cameroon-red-baboon-gng","provider":"Nova Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
