Ephebopus murinus

The Skeleton Tarantula.


Ephebopus murinus- is a very fast and semi-aggressive. The coloring on these quick tarantulas is great. The carapace is a tan color. The back ground color is almost black, dark brown. The coloring on the legs is all dark brown with what appears as 'bones' painted on with a tan color. That is how this species gets the common name of 'Skeleton'.


This species is a burrower that needs to have a moist substrate. This can be done by misting the substrate. Always keep a fresh water supply for them. Other keeping requirements are basically the same as other tarantulas.
