Temperature Range Humidity Range Climate

Lasiodora is a genus of large, fast-growing terrestrial tarantulas native to Brazil and surrounding regions. They are among the largest tarantulas in the world and are often chosen for their impressive size and voracious appetite.

These tarantulas thrive in warm, humid environments and benefit from spacious enclosures with deep substrate and occasional misting. While not aggressive, they can be defensive and flick urticating hairs readily, so they are better suited to intermediate and advanced keepers.
