Shopping guidance
Spiderlings, juveniles and adults can differ in price, growth speed, visibility and confidence level. Pick the animal you can house properly now, not just the one with the nicest photo.
Linked Species guides explain temperament, enclosure style, humidity and feeding notes before you buy. They are there to save both you and the spider from avoidable drama.
Availability can change as orders come in, so product pages show the current lifestage and stock status. If something vanishes, it probably found a new shelf to sit on.
Keeps to itself until the lights go out, then redecorates with webbing like it’s prepping for a midnight exhibition. Shy, swift, and not at all fussed about human approval.
Unfazed by life's dramas, this one spends its days rearranging substrate, sulking in a burrow, or pretending dinner is an unexpected audit.
Usually a glimpse of legs vanishing underground, but will surface unexpectedly—especially if you foolishly believed you’d never see it again.
Vivid blue, rarely seen—unless it’s vanished dinner or you’re cleaning, in which case, brace yourself for a sudden lesson in eight-legged sprinting.
Confident, hefty terrestrial from Brazil; visible, bold, with a healthy appetite. Suits keepers with some tarantula experience who value presence over subtlety.
Wanders about like it owns the place, then indignantly flicks hairs if interrupted—subtlety never was L. striatipes’ strong suit, but visibility is rarely an issue.
Quick to vanish behind silk curtains, this one webs like it's rehearsing for a minor home renovation show and only emerges when it's convinced you aren't paying attention.
Struts about like it owns the place, only pausing to flick a hair or redecorate with a modest patch of webbing. Not big on drama, unless it’s dinnertime or you meddle with its hide.
Has the presence of a tank but the nerve of a napper—mostly seen lurking, unless spooked, in which case it exits stage left with unexpected enthusiasm.
Inclined to reappear just as you put the enclosure lid back on, then proceeds to flick hairs if you question its bold redecorating during late-night prowls.
Masters of acrobatics and dramatic redecorating, P. irminia disappears for days, only to reappear mid-moult or when a cricket dares cross the wrong bit of silk.
Typically hides behind a curtain of web, then appears out of nowhere just as you’re explaining to someone that they never show themselves.
