This genus does the best around 23-27 Celsius but can tolerate down to 16 and up to 30 for short periods. Like most other spiders, Tarantulas grow faster at higher temperatures.
Humidity should be within 60-80% by misting the enclosure regularly.
Most Coremiocnemis sp should be fed at least twice a week but young slings often need 3 or 4 feedings. If the tarantulas abdomen is thinner than the head indicates that the tarantula needs food immediately. When tarantulas moult, they will stop feeding for around a week before and 1-2 weeks afterwards. The prey should be around the same size as the spiders head if not smaller. Pre killing the prey is the safest method of feeding as this eliminates the risk of the prey hurting the tarantula. Placing the prey item in the freezer for 15 minutes is the most humane way to pre kill.
from slings to juveniles with a leg span of around 40mm the tarantula can be kept in 500ml plastic jars. Adults need an enclosure that is at least 30cmx20cmx30cm.
Coir peat is the substrate we use for all our spiders as it holds moisture well and is economical. A young tarantula needs at least 50mm of substrate but around 100mm is ideal. An adult should have around 200mm.
Coremiocnemis sp don't burrow as much as other Australian tarantulas but instead utilise hides such as rocks and logs.
