Bolivian Dwarf Beauty
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi
Cyriocosmus • Theraphosidae
Overview
One of the best dwarf tarantulas for beginners — unlike most dwarfs it's bold and confident, frequently sitting out in the open rather than hiding. ~2-2.5 inches, richly patterned. An opportunistic burrower: give thick substrate kept half-moist, a hide, and a water dish once over an inch. Calm and low-maintenance, with no real defensive behavior; urticating hairs, mild venom.
