Grammostola rosea (Red Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula)
The Red Chilean Rose Hair is one of the most popular beginner species in the hobby, right up there with the Brazilian Black. Spiderlings hatch out pink before growing into the gorgeous pink and red coloration of the adults, a look that's genuinely more impressive in person than in photos. This is a docile new world tarantula for sale that has earned its spot as a hobby classic.
Why do hobbyists keep Grammostola rosea?
- Stunning Coloration: A rich pink and red adult coloration that's even more striking in person than in photos.
- Color Change: Slings hatch out pink and grow into the deeper pink and red tones of the adult over time.
- Docile Temperament: Calm and easygoing, one of the most popular beginner species in the hobby alongside the Brazilian Black.
- Rare in the Hobby: Genuine red color form rosea has become less common as USA captive breeding of this classic species has slowed.
How should Grammostola rosea be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches around 4 to 5 inches at full leg span, a comfortably manageable size for any collection.
- Enclosure: Provide a terrestrial setup roughly 3 times the leg span as footprint and 2 times the leg span as height, with substrate at least 1 times the leg span deep for a shallow burrow and a hide.
- Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
- Humidity: Aim for a moisture gradient, damp lower substrate with a drier top layer, mimicking a natural morning dew cycle. Good ventilation is critical.
- Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
- Diet: Crickets, roaches, and similar feeders sized to the carapace (head).
- Temperament: Docile and easygoing, one of the calmer terrestrial species to keep and observe.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Sling Coloration: Slings hatch out red and pink, giving them a distinct look from Rose Hair (Grammostola rosea) spiderlings from the very start.
- Classic Choice: One of the most recognized tarantulas in the hobby and often a keeper's very first species.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
