The most beautiful beginner species is finally back in the USA from trustworthy sources you all know and love. There is not another beginner species that brings the same level of: color, gentle attitude or hardiness to the table as the A. mooreae. With a bright green carapace and bright blue legs this species turns the lights on. No wonder it is called the Mexican Jade Fuego (Fire) Tarantula. 


This slow growing and brilliant species brings the slow, and gentle nature of an Aphonoplema (a genus famous for it's extremely docile nature) and the kicking color of something that looks like Picasso painted himself. We have had the pleasure of working with this species for several years now and it still remains at the top of the projects and personal tarantulas we keep. While it may take some time to grow, these gems are definitely worth the wait.  


As always, we bring you all the highest quality and captive bred animals. These beauties will not last long and once they are gone it will be years before they are back. Get your true captive bred, and legal A. mooreae today only while supplies last.

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.
