Selenotypus Champagne Robustus Tarantula - Yearling

Selenocosmia (Phlogius) Champagne Robustus approx. 15mm body length

Champagne Robustus are a large sized tarantula species. Their habitat is northern and eastern Australia, including woodlands, forests, grasslands, and rocky areas.

Champagne Robustus is primarily a burrowing species. They dig deep burrows in the ground and line them with silk. These burrows serve as their shelters and hunting grounds.

Like most tarantulas, Phlogius Champagne Robustus is nocturnal, meaning they are most active during the night. They emerge from their burrows to hunt for prey after sunset.

Their diet mainly consists of crickets, roaches and mealworms. They are ambush predators and use their silk-lined burrows to detect vibrations caused by passing prey.
