Homoeomma chilense (Chilean Dwarf Flame Tarantula)

The Chilean Dwarf Flame is a small, understated species that rewards a closer look. Its dark body carries a unique splash of red-orange at the base of the abdomen, a subtle, high contrast look that's earned it a loyal following among collectors who appreciate detail over size. This is a docile new world tarantula for sale that makes a genuinely long term companion.

Why do hobbyists keep Homoeomma chilense?

• Stunning Coloration: A dark body set off by a distinctive splash of red-orange at the base of the abdomen, subtle but genuinely striking up close.
• Docile Temperament: Extremely docile and gentle, one of the calmest dwarf species in the entire hobby.
• Long Lived: Can live 20 or more years with proper care, a true long term companion.
• Slow Grower: Hatches out tiny and grows slowly, so raising one from a sling is a genuine long term project worth the patience.

How should Homoeomma chilense be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 2.5 inches at full leg span, a true dwarf species.
• 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: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
• Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
• Temperament: Extremely docile and gentle, one of the most easygoing dwarf species to keep and observe.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Patience Pays Off: This species hatches out incredibly small and grows slowly, so well started specimens are especially appreciated by keepers who want to skip the slowest early stretch.
• Long Term Companion: With a potential lifespan of 20 plus years, this is a species you can genuinely grow old with.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
