Euathlus sp. red

I’ve been looking for this dwarf species for quite awhile. Has anyone seen them available?

You may have better luck looking under Homoeomma chilensis. That said they are very hard to come by. @Austin S. is the only one I can think of that had them in the last few years.

Thanks— didn’t realize the name change —> dert!
Does anyone here keep them?

I had four, two females and two males, both males were munched by female two sadly. One female passed from old age, the other froze along with half of my collection when the power went out for a week while I was out of town.

I have a Homoeomma orellanai sling which used to be known as Euathlus sp. yellow, which is very similar to the chilensis. Some thought it a variant before the name change. My sling is not even an inch and I’ve had it since 2016.

oh no! Sorry to hear about your collection. That’s very sad.

I’ve read that the H. chilensis is tricky to breed. No doubt this is why they aren’t so readily available?
