Hapalopus klein (Dwarf Pumpkin Patch Tarantula) for sale

The now very rare Pumpkin Patch Small or Dwarf Pumpkin Patch is an amazing species of South American dwarf that has a little more contrast than its bigger relative (Pumpkin Patch).

If you compare side by side, you will notice that the carapace of the small is much darker in coloration, with a more reflective triangle than the Large Pumpkin Patch. The abdomens of the smalls also have dots that do not connect and more black coloration on the abdomen. 

Grab this striking species while it is available! We just have one female available.

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.

Size
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.
