With its vibrant patterns and swift movements, the Salem Ornamental is a mesmerizing addition to any collection, captivating both seasoned hobbyists and newcomers alike. Care Details: Temperature: Ideal range for the Poecilotheria formosa is 75 to 85°F (24 to 29°C). These conditions encourage active feeding, rapid growth, and regular molting. Humidity: Maintain humidity at around 60-70%. Water dishes are not necessary, but if used, they pose no harm. I personally do not use them.
