Check the lifestage
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.
Shopping guidance
Useful before you choose
Use the care guides
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.
Stock changes quickly
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.
Nhandu coloratovillosus
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.
New
Pamphobeteus sp. “machala”
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.
Phormictopus auratus
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.
Psalmopeus irminia
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.
