Description

#Dwarf
Neoholothele incei is a species of tarantula from Trinidad and Venezuela,commonly called the Trinidad olive tarantula. This species in the hobby is known for having an olive color form and a hobby species gold color form.

When mature, the species has a leg-span exceeding 5–7.5 cm. As often the case with tarantulas, the females live longer than males, with the former living up to 7 years compared to the 2 years that males can expect to reach.

N. incei is a bird spider and is fossorial (burrowing species). It is commonly kept as a pet as it is easy to breed. Rarely for tarantulas, N. incei is known to live communally and cannibalism is rare except for times of extreme hunger, this does not apply to gold form.

Like most New World species, the venom of N. incei is considered to be mild and comparable to a bee sting, however no research has confirmed this. This species has a golden carapace and its abdomen is striped.

ABOUT SIZES

In Tarantula life cycle, there is only eggs, spider-ling and adult.

However for pricing convenience, this is a personal rule of thumb, obviously this varies on the species of tarantula.
1. Sling (1cm~2cm)
2. Juvenile (2cm~7cm)
3. Sub adult (7cm~10cm)
4. Adult (10cm~12cm+)

It varies on species as some adults may only reach a few centrimeters while others may get (20cm~25cm+)
