The beginner tarantula that can outlive the keeper who bought it

Aphonopelma hentzi, the Oklahoma Brown Tarantula (sold regionally as the Texas Brown), is the classic American spider: a sturdy 4 to 5.5 inch terrestrial in warm earth brown, built low and unbothered. It roams the plains of the central and southern US, digging burrows and waiting out the years. This is the tarantula most people picture when they picture a tarantula, and it wears the role well.

Temperament is the selling point: calm, slow growing, and forgiving, with a wide tolerance for humidity and nothing worse than a kick of urticating hairs when startled. It is a genuine beginner animal, one of the most easygoing tarantulas in North America, and it can outlast the keeper who bought it. Give it a simple terrestrial setup with real digging depth and it thrives. The care guide has the build and the boundaries.

Full care is in the care guide. It covers enclosure size, temperature, humidity, feeding, molting signs and handling limits for this species. Read the Advanced guide, or the shorter Simple guide →
