Davus pentaloris (Tiger Rump) 1/4”+ #NWM-09

Davus pentaloris adults have black legs, a gold/orange carapace and black and red tiger stripes on their abdomen. They will often burrow when given the opportunity and can reach lengths of 4"+ 

Currently feeding on prekilled pinhead B. lateralis roaches. We recommend a Terrestrial Spiderling spiderling enclosure kit. As these slings are so small we recommend them for experienced keepers only. D. Pentaloris can make a great beginner tarantula if over 3/4” or so.

Previously accepted under the genus Cyclosternum and often confused with/sold as Cyclosternum fasciatum (Costa Rican tiger rump) this beautifully striped New World can make an interesting pet for an intermediate keeper. Although they have a mild bite and are not typically defensive they are somewhat fast-moving which is why it might be a little more difficult for a first tarantula. Otherwise they are a very easy-going species.  Davus pentaloris makes interesting burrows and will ferociously attack it's prey.
