Brachypelma hamorii
Also known as the Mexican Red Knee, this arachnid has fiery orange joints and a docile nature that make it great for beginners. Best known for its long lifespan, with females living up to 30 years and males up to 10.
Aphonopelma Genus
This genus consists of heavy-bodied, slow-moving terrestrial tarantulas typically found in shades of earthy brown, tan, or deep ebony.
Rare & Exotic Tarantulas
If you’re looking for a not-so-average pet, then we have the perfect collection for you. Our rare tarantulas come in vibrant colors and unique patterns that look straight out of another world! You can also guarantee that each one is captive-bred, ethically sourced, and backed with our Live Arrival Guarantee.
As a rule of thumb, a tarantula enclosure should be about 2-3X your arachnid’s leg span in length and 2-4x its leg span in height. However, this varies depending on the type of tarantula you’re caring for. For example, arboreal species need more height than width.
Keep things simple and use a secure lid with good airflow, a few hiding spots, and the right amount of substrate for digging or anchoring webs. Keep humidity balanced with light misting or a shallow water dish. Use a hygrometer to monitor levels.
Get all these right and your new pet tarantula will feel at home in no time! For a comprehensive and detailed guide, please refer to our tarantula care sheets.
