Description
Neoholothele incei, from the island of Trinidad, has to be one of the most popular and accessible dwarf tarantulas in the hobby. Commonly known as the Trinidad olive dwarf, we offer a juvenile Neoholothele incei female.
N. incei is an obligate burrower. It tends to web at the substrate-wall interface, sometimes webbing nearly all the enclosure floor. Scores have tried to keep N. incei communally with varied success. We suggest keeping this Neoholothele incei female in isolation. Although we suggest slightly dampened substrate and elevated humidity for spiderlings, older specimens, such as this juvenile N. incei female, may do better in a somewhat drier enclosure. A water dish may be helpful to allow her to stay hydrated.

Care highlights:
- slightly dampened substrate (sds) allowed to dry somewhat
- slightly elevated humidity +/- water dish support
- room temperature (68-72F) up to 80F
- may burrow under bark pieces
- consider forest litter and plantings for enrichment
