The red orange-colored Amazonicus germani(Pseudoclamoris gigas) is a New World tree type tarantula. It is necessary to collect accurate information about common and scientific names. So far, there is a lot of confusion in the name of this tarantula. It's known as "Orange Tree Spider."
The tarantula, native to French Guyana, has a darkened body and spotted abdomen during juvenile, but as it approaches adults, its entire body turns orange and its carapace becomes light brown. It is known to have a typical lifespan, but more information has not yet been released.
It is known to be quite defensive with a moderate growth rate, so it is more suitable for skilled keepers than beginners.
A higher container is required compared to other tree-type tarantulas. Although the area is not very important, a container that is three to four times the length of the tarantula(the total length, including the legs) is recommended. Wooden driftwood or cork bark are essential in the container. Living plants or leaves can be a shelter for tarantulas, improve the air quality inside the container, and control humidity smoothly.
Sometimes it's mistaken for 'Red tree spider(Antiles pinktoe)'. Keepers need to know the exact name and species of this tarantula.
