For breeding this tarantula, it is recommended to use a terrarium with a sufficiently large substrate area to allow digging. The substrate should be slightly moist and the temperature maintained at an appropriate level to ensure ideal living conditions. This tarantula is resistant to breeding mistakes, making it a good choice for beginners.

Dieta

Acanthoscurria geniculata feeds mainly on insects such as crickets, cockroaches and mealworm larvae. The size of the food should be adjusted to the size of the spider, and adult specimens are fed every 1–2 weeks.

Although naturally calm, this tarantula can accelerate rapidly in case of danger. Its defence mechanism involves combing out stinging hairs from its abdomen, which is typical defensive behaviour among tarantulas.
