Catumiri (Tarantulas)
Catumiri is a lesser-known genus of dwarf tarantulas native to South America, primarily found in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina.
These spiders are small, fossorial, and generally reclusive, making them an interesting genus for advanced keepers and enthusiasts of unusual species.
Catumiri species prefer dry or semi-arid enclosures with deep substrate for burrowing. Due to their secretive nature, they are rarely seen outside of their retreats and are best appreciated by keepers with patience and an interest in behavior over display.
