{"product_id":"tarantula-phormictopus-auratus-cuban-bronze","title":"Tarantula - Phormictopus auratus - Cuban Bronze - GNG","description":"The Phormictopus auratus, commonly known as the Cuban Bronze tarantula, is a striking and robust species prized by both beginner and experienced keepers. Native to Cuba, this terrestrial tarantula displays beautiful bronze-gold coloration that deepens with age, making it a visually impressive addition to any collection.\n\nCuban Bronze tarantulas are known for their docile temperament and relatively slow growth rate, reaching a leg span of 5–6 inches at maturity. They thrive in warm, humid conditions with temperatures between 75–80°F and moderate humidity levels. Provide a well-ventilated enclosure with 4–6 inches of substrate for burrowing, as they are semi-fossorial and enjoy creating their own retreats.\n\nThese tarantulas are low-maintenance feeders, accepting appropriately-sized insects such as crickets and roaches. Juveniles require feeding every 5–7 days, while adults can be fed weekly or bi-weekly. Ensure fresh water is always available via a water dish or regular misting.\n\nThe Cuban Bronze is an excellent choice for keepers seeking a calm, hardy species with minimal care demands. With proper husbandry, they can live 12+ years in captivity, offering long-term companionship and natural beauty.","brand":"Nova Reptiles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45508074668169,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6962\/4713\/files\/CubanBronze_1_2_1.jpg?v=1775935113","url":"https:\/\/novareptiles.com\/products\/tarantula-phormictopus-auratus-cuban-bronze","provider":"Nova Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
