Xoana the Pinktoe
Title can't be empty.
Title can't be empty.
Xoana is a confirmed female by the seller. She is a common pinktoe tarantula, aka Avicularia-Avicularia
She cannot kick hairs, but rubs them against her threat, and she can shoot her poop at her threat with an accuracy up to 2 feet.
She is the largest tarantula in my collection easily filling my hand, and thus I given her a second name, Queen.
Her kind can be found in the tall trees and plants of the tropical world in Guiana, Tabogo, Brazil, Suriname, Venezuela, Bolivia and Trinidad (Island). Because of this Pinktoes do super well in tall well ventilated enclosures, making them excellent beginner tarantulas.
Her favorite prey are hawkmoths. Normally these moths are poisonous. Hawkmoth caterpillars are called hornworms, and love tomato and tobacco plants, and are a bad agricultural pests to tomato and tobaccos plants. Both plants are very toxic, and the hornworm can store these toxins as a defensive measure when eaten. It can be deadly to small insectivores such as spiders and lizards.
However, hornworms can be raised to be non-toxic and kept in containers with home made food. There are ingredients to make the food for hornworms out of wheat germ, dry milk, sugar and yeast among other things, and the recipes can be found online. It becomes a oatmeal like mush that the caterpillars will devour. This makes them safe for insect eating animals. If you can breed hawkmoths, you can have a endless food supply for your insect eating animals.
I will let the caterpillars pupate and once they hatch, and their wings dry. Then free them into Xoana's enclosure. Their beating wings and want to take flight drives her insane to pounce and feed on them.
