Tliltocatl epicureanus

Tliltocatl epicureanus is a Yucatan Peninsula species that older books and some dealers still list as Brachypelma epicureanum. It looks a lot like its better-known relative T. vagans but is much less common in the hobby, so care information is mostly keeper experience rather than formal care sheets. Keepers describe it as hardy and simple: an essentially dry setup with one corner kept damp by overflowing the water dish, then letting that corner dry out and rotating it. Slings appreciate slightly moist substrate. One keeper holds an adult female at roughly 75 to 80 F and notes she retreats to her burrow below about 72 F. Expect a strong feeding response; that animal lunges at anything that moves, though individuals vary. As a New World species it has urticating hairs. Treat the numbers here as one keeper's practice, not a studied standard, and watch your own animal.
