**These hatch at 1/8" so these are huge! It is hard to find larger elegans, because they are so popular and this is the perfect starter size! 

This gorgeous dwarf species has been a favorite of hobbyists for many years due to the striking coloration of the body, and heart shape on its abdomen. 

This dwarf species reaches only about 2" leg span as the max size, and both males and females exhibit a bright orange and black carapace, with black and white legs and bronze heart on it's abdomen. 

These slings will grow fast even have coloration when they are small! Get yours today.

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.
