Nhandu coloratovillosus (Brazilian black and white)

*SLINGS*

High-contrast showpiece with a healthy appetite and a habit of pushing décor around like a tiny bulldozer. Fast grower, bold pattern, and a great “watch, don’t touch” terrestrial.

Quick care

• Lifestyle: Terrestrial/burrower; light webbing; loves a snug cork hide.
• Enclosure: Floor space over height; secure lid; strong cross-vent.
• Substrate: 12–15 cm, firmly packed. Keep lower layers lightly damp for slings/juvies; surface mostly dry as they mature.
• Temps/Humidity: 22–26 °C; moderate humidity
• Feeding: Voracious—slings 2× small feeders weekly; juvies every 5–7 days; adults 7–10 days. Pause during premoult.
• Temperament: Skittish to defensive; enthusiastic hair-flicker—no handling.
