Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Esmeralda' (Chilean Emerald Tiger Tarantula)

Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Esmeralda' (Chilean Emerald Tiger Tarantula)

This is one of the rarest species in the world, and one of the most gorgeous. This is the true emerald tiger, since many people sell E. tigre costera as the emerald tiger despite it not being accurate. This species has a green-gold carapace (head) with blue femurs and an orange abdomen, essentially a very docile dwarf Green Bottle Blue or Mexican Jade Fuego. Grab this new world tarantula for sale if you want a genuine rarity that stays compact.

How should Euathlus sp. 'Tigre Esmeralda' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 3 to 4 inches at full leg span, staying compact despite the bold coloration.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security.
• Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
• Humidity: This species does best kept on the drier side, with a reliable water dish rather than damp substrate.
• Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
