The Acanthoscurria Brocklehursti is also known as
a Giant Black and White. It is an extremely large
species of spider known to reach leg spans of up to
9 inches. They are a terrestrial species that can be
found predominantly Brazil.
This is a terrestrial species of tarantula so it will not burrow the way
some other tarantulas do. They are known for their
aggressive eating habits and vibrant coloration. A.
brocklehursti usually don't hide much and spend a
lot of time out in the open exploring and so make
impressive display Tarantulas.
A water bowl should be given when the tarantula reaches 2".
Spiderlings will require light misting to drink
droplets of water. A bottle cap is ideal for
maintaining hydration while keeping the tarantula's
booklungs out of the water. Prior to reaching 2"
droplets of water on the side of its tank should be
provided for hydration.
They are often confused with its close relative the A. Geniculata. This
species is aggressive and especially large and is
therefore not recommended for beginners.

They really do not like any direct light, so be sure to keep the enclosure in a well shaded place away from any direct light
sources. A good retreat is required to make it feel more secure during molting. No decorations
are really needed, but you can add a log, or cork bark. Always house tarantulas separately.
