Here we have one of my favorite tarantulas, the C. portoricae. Why, you may ask? Well, since you asked, allow me to expound. I admire their hilariously defensive nature despite their small size, their subtle yet pretty coloration, and their long lifespan relative to a dwarf species. I still have the female I bought from Swifty back in 2002. She was a young female then, perhaps three years old. I mated her and successfully bred her in 2005, and feisty as ever, she still hates everything among us. Keep them between 72-84 and humidity of 70%. I don’t think I have to mention to you not to get cavalier with them. Swifty was bitten, he said it wasn’t pleasant.
