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.

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.
