The Spider gene is associated with a neurological condition commonly known as head ‘wobble’ this girl is no difference presenting some difficulties in distinguishing up and down and balancing. She is however, a happy and active girl who still enjoys cuddles, climbing and exploring her environment and is eating like the queen she is. We expect her to do well in most homes.

Great beginner species, suitable for novice and experienced keepers alike as well as a family pet, a heavy bodied, slow moving, gentle species that is perfect for children, under adult supervision.

This species requires basking temperatures of 32-35 Celsius, with a minimum night time drop to 22 Celsius and ideally thrives in areas of 50-60% humidity. UV lightning is not necessary for this species although studies show they benefit from exposure to UV rays.

This species does not require feeding as often as most other pets. As babies they will typically eat once a week, juvenile to sub adult once a fortnight, then as an adult once a month, depending of food items offered, so very low feeding cost in comparison to other species and perfect for those new to the hobby as maintaining feeding schedule is easier to manage.
