A "Mexican" tiger-rump

This tarantula species looks extremely similar to the Costa Rican tiger rump (Cyclosternum fasciatum) and it might be very well the same species, despite it was being found in Coyolillo, Veracruz, Mexico.

I keep two juveniles of this species in a terrarium with a glass divider in the middle so each tarantula has its own section. I feed them crickets (field crickets, house crickets) and "superworms". The latter are actually larvae of the darkling beetle, species Zophobas morio.

This photo gallery is part of Arachnids near Coyolillo - part 3, which has more pictures of this wonderful animal.
