Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Esmeralda' (Chilean Emerald Tiger Tarantula) for sale

This is one of the rarest species in the world, and one of the most gorgeous! This is the TRUE emerald tiger. Many people sell E. tigre costera as the emerald tiger since they also have green, but this is not accurate. 

The specimens that we have are related to the specimens photographed!

This is a special locality of the species called Euathlus sp. tigre or tiger. There are several color morphs/localities of this species, so just searching the species can yeild mixed results. 

This is essentially a very docile dwarf GBB or A. mooreae! They only get about 3-4" legspan so they will not get big, and they are gorgeous.

This species has a green-gold carapace with blue femurs, and an orange abdomen. 

From what we noticed, Euathlus also are not quite as slow growing as some other Chilean or Mexican speices!

Picture in the sun and the last picture is one in the shadows. As you can see there is no special lighting needed for this beauty to shine.

How we ship live animals:

We ship all live animals using ONLY FedEx Overnight shipping, since it is the fastest and safest way to ship your new pets.

We ship on Tuesdays (for Wednesday arrival) and Wednesdays (for Thursday arrival) and plan shipments on Mondays.

Please make sure to select a FedEx Overnight option at checkout - for "Facility Pickup" or "Home Delivery"!

If your package is over $400 or contains rare/expensive animals we may require you to pick up at your local facility.

**Please remember that "Overnight Shipping" only means that your animal will spend overnight in the box; it does not mean your package shipps immediately and will arrive the next day! **
How we measure invertebrates:

We measure tarantulas and spiders in diagonal legspan. This means the distance from the front right to back left leg (or vise versa) when the animal is stretched out.

Cenitpedes we measure the full length of the animal from the antennae to the back legs

Scorpions we typically measure the body-length of the animal.

Cage Requirements

Choose an enclosure at least twice the tarantula's leg span in width, depth, and height. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and provide a hide to help your pet feel secure.

Diet & Water

Feed your invertebrates crickets, roaches, or mealworms—we primarily use crickets and recommend feeding weekly. Provide a textured, shallow water dish as a drinking source, ensuring it's just water (no sugar, sponges, or additives).

Temperature & Humidity

Keep invertebrates at room temperature (65°F-75°F) and maintain humidity using soil. The soil should be damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds.

Soil & Plants

We use organic coconut fiber for our tarantulas because it resists mold and holds humidity well. For bioactive enclosures, choose nutrient-rich soil, ensuring it is free from insecticides and pests.
