Lasiodora klugi (Scarlet Birdeater Tarantula) for sale

This stunning species is often mistaken for its cousin, Lasiadora parahybana (Salmon Pink Bird eater), but it features a darker black body with a vibrant reddish abdomen, setting it apart in any collection.

Known for its excellent feeding response, this tarantula is both entertaining to observe and easy to care for.

It starts small as a sling but grows into a true giant, reaching an impressive 10" leg span. Its size and striking appearance make it a must-have for anyone seeking an eye-catching display species!

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.
