Another great purple species from India, the P. tigrinawesseli features an amazing purple carapace, and purple femurs (first section of the legs).

Ornamental (Poecilotheria) species love to stretch out and are a group of some of the largest arbroeal tarantulas, so they get fairly large and make for impressive display animals.

Names & Classifications

Genus: Poecilotheria Species: tigrinawesseli Type: Arboreal Temperment: Defensive and Fast Endemic Location: Sri Lanka Adult Size: 6-8"
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.
