If you appreciate the “heavy webbing” habits of the Tiger Rump but want a more refined, metallic look, the Frozen Flame is the perfect addition to your collection. This species is a relentless architect, quickly filling its enclosure with complex silken tunnels and “ice-white” web-mats. They are incredibly active display animals with a lightning-fast feeding response, making them a thrill to observe during feeding time.
Silk Road Note: While they are a New World species with mild venom, they are exceptionally fast and prone to “teleporting” when startled. Their high metabolism means they grow rapidly and rarely miss a meal. We recommend this species for keepers who want a visually stunning, active spider that completely transforms its environment with silk.
🏡 Care Requirements
Provide 3-4 inches of substrate with plenty of cork bark and fake plants to serve as anchor points for their heavy webbing. Keep temperatures between 72-80°F with moderate humidity (60-70%). Unlike desert species, they appreciate slightly damp substrate in one corner. Feed 1-2 appropriately sized insects weekly. Their care is robust and straightforward, perfect for any collector.
