The red-green orange spider (scientific name: Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens), also known as the Venezuelan Red-green orange spider, is native to the dry deserts of the Paraguaná Peninsula in Venezuela. It is one of the most beautiful and classic pet bird-eating spider species. Its habitat is actually very small, only a small area on the Paraguaná Peninsula in Venezuela. However, they became popular among enthusiasts early on, so we still have the opportunity to buy their CB juveniles.

This spider lives in the soil caves under the bushes and tree roots in the Venezuelan desert. The webs in the caves often extend outside, forming a tunnel. These webs can withstand the desert climate and also trap prey.

Love climbing, bird-catching spider enthusiasts recommend keeping. After reaching a certain size, they may have a certain degree of aggression. They also have a personality that is more prone to kicking hairs. All of these make them a type of pet bird-catching spider that is not suitable for first-time keepers. This is a species that is worth collecting, with beautiful color combinations.

1. Emaciation Disease

When you find that the spider's body becomes dull and the skin starts to dry and turn yellow, it is likely that emaciation disease has occurred. This condition is generally caused by insufficient food intake, leading to malnutrition.

2. Enteritis

In contrast to emaciation disease, enteritis is caused by overeating. Continuously feeding the spider or feeding it with low-temperature food can lead to bloating and abdominal pain, eventually resulting in enteritis.

3. Hemiplegia

Spiders do not require a high environmental temperature. However, when the temperature is too high, especially in summer with high temperature and humidity, if the spider's cage is far away from the ventilation, the spider may experience heatstroke-like symptoms and the legs may become paralyzed, resulting in hemiplegia.

4. Constipation

Constipation is mostly caused by insufficient water intake. Besides eating, spiders also need to drink water. If the owner keeps feeding the spider without providing water, the food cannot provide the necessary water for the spider's body.

5. Black Rot Disease

Refusing to eat or move, decreased vitality, and the appearance of black, ulcerative lesions on the abdomen are the manifestations of spider black rot disease. The reason for this condition is consuming stale water and food. If the spider eats food contaminated with bacteria, it can contract black rot disease, which can lead to death.

6. Mold Spot Disease

Especially in the south, during hot and humid weather, the spider's body surface is prone to bacterial invasion. The spider's joints become increasingly stiff, and its body becomes damp. Bacteria thrive and reproduce in such an environment, causing the spider to develop mold spots.

7. Parasites

Parasites are probably the most disgusting disease for spiders. If it is small insects, it can be tolerated, but when aggressive parasites crawl on the spider's body, it looks extremely repulsive. Besides disturbing the spider's rest, these parasites may also carry other viruses, causing multiple infections and threatening the spider's life.

Red-green orange spider (Latin name: Chromatopelmacyaneopubescens) is also known as Venezuelan Red-green orange spider, native to the dry desert of Paraguana Peninsula in Venezuela, and is one of the beautiful and classic pet bird-eating spider species. Their habitat is actually very small, only in a small area of Paraguana Peninsula in Venezuela. However, they became popular among enthusiasts early on, so we still have the opportunity to buy their CB juveniles.

The adult body length is 15-16 centimeters. Their small juveniles have rich colors, with golden back carapace, black abdomen with red stripes, and pink legs. As they grow up, the black color on the abdomen gradually fades away and becomes orange-red, the back carapace turns blue-green, and the legs become blue. This colorful pet bird-eating spider species undergoes color changes with each molt, so they are always popular.

Suitable temperature is 28-30°C, suitable humidity is 65%, and it is recommended to use relatively dry peat and coconut bricks as substrate. However, it is not easy for them to breed under artificial conditions. The females often kill the males directly, and their yield is not high, so their prices are always high. In addition, when they reach a certain size, they may have some aggressiveness and a tendency to kick hairs, which makes them not suitable as a first-time pet bird-eating spider. However, there is no doubt that this is a species worth collecting. Their beautiful color combinations are always classic and representative among pet bird-eating spiders.
