Description
Homoeomma orellanai (Chilean Yellow Flame Tarantula)
This species is the yellow color form of Homoeomma chilense (Chilean Dwarf Flame), a tad more rare and with a bit more color to show for it. Super docile and genuinely limited in availability, this small new world tarantula for sale swaps out the classic red abdominal patch for a glowing golden yellow instead.
Why do hobbyists keep Homoeomma orellanai?
- Stunning Coloration: A glowing golden yellow patch at the base of the abdomen sets this apart from the more common red form of the species.
- Docile Temperament: Extremely docile and gentle, one of the calmest dwarf species in the hobby.
- Rare in the Hobby: Genuinely limited availability makes this a real find for dwarf species collectors.
- Long Lived: Can live 20 or more years with proper care, a true long term companion.
How should Homoeomma orellanai 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.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
