The Fringed Ornamental (P. ornata) is a heavier-bodied spider that almost equals it in size, but an out-stretched Red-slate can occasionally reach nine or ten inches. A large vertically-oriented terrarium is required to house an adult female, and cork bark slabs and rounds make exceptional retreats and places for this giant tree tarantula to perch.
Poecilotheria metallica (Gooty Sapphire Ornamental) suspect female 2" inch *SOLD OUT*
Scientific Name: Poecilotheria metallica Adult Leg Span: 6" Habits/Habitat: Arboreal / Trop Monsoon Forest (RH: 70-80%) This gorgeous sapphire-blue, white and yellow "tiger spider" would be on everyone's top five list of most desirable tarantulas in the terrarium.

It is a perennial favorite of tarantula keepers and terrarium enthusiasts.
Pseudoclamoris gigas (Orange Tree Spider) 1" inch $45.00
Scientific Name: Psuedoclamoris Gigas Adult Leg Span: 4 - 5" Habits/Habitat: Arboreal / Subtropical Forest (RH: 60-70%) This pretty rust-orange arboreal tarantula from the northeastern coastal countries of South America was long know as Tapinauchenius gigas until a 2018 taxonomic revision found evidence that it deserved its own genus along with one other “Tap” species (elenae) and a new species Pseudoclamoris burgessi. The Orange Tree Spider certainly is larger and more heavy-bodied spider than those that remain in the genus Tapinauchenius and are affectionately called “Taps” by tarantula hobbyists. P. gigas grows moderately fast and makes an exceptional display tarantula for the tall tropical rainforest terrarium.
Selenocosmia crassipes (Australian Barking Spider) 1" 1/2 inch *SOLD OUT*
Scientific Name: Selenocosmia crassipes Adult Leg Span: 6-8" Habits/Habitat: Terrestrial/Burrowing/Grassland Scrub (RH:50-60%) Many Australian tarantulas are referred to as “whistling” or “barking” spiders due to the noises they can make by stridulation, which is producing sound by rubbing the coarse bristled surfaces of two body parts against each other. This species is one the largest spiders from “down under.”

'Colombian Purple and Gold' Adult Leg Span: 2 - 3" Country of Origin: Ecuador Habits/Habitat: Terrestrial / Trop Forest (RH: 70-80%) This small, stunning new undescribed species of tarantula from near the Andean Cordillera Oriental mountain range of Colombia, bordering Venezuela to the northeast, has a metallic golden sheen and a large blue to purplish patch on an otherwise orange-ish abdomen.

Citharacanthus cyaneus (Cuban Dwarf Violet) 1" inch $80.00
Scientific Name: Citharacanthus cyaneus Adult Leg Span: 1.5 - 2" Country of Origin: Cuba Habits/Habitat: Terrestrial / Sub-tropical Forest (RH: 70%) The species name refers to the color blue and freshly molted spiders have a gorgeous purplish-blue color on their legs and chelicerae, but the reddish or orangish-brown color of the carapace and abdomen are also quite attractive.

'hati hati' Adult Leg Span: 6"+ Country of Origin: Indonesian Habits/Habitat: Arboreal / Tropical Rainforest (RH: 70-80%) This gorgeous Indonesian arboreal tarantula caused quite a stir when it first was 'discovered' by tarantula breeders in 2012. With a pale golden carapace and dark legs and abdomen that can be purple to black, its beauty is quite dramatic. Still undescribed by science, its temporary name of "hati hati" is from the Indonesian "hati" for 'careful' or 'danger' and may refer to its irascible nature. The "Hati Hati Purple" has proven easy to keep and breed, and its initial high price and short supply has reversed to where it is a hugely popular choice for the tropical forest tarantula terrarium.
Cyriopagopus lividus (Cobalt Blue) 1" 1/2 inch *SOLD OUT*
Scientific Name: Cyriopagopus lividus Adult Leg Span: 4 - 5" Habits/Habitat: Terrestrial/Burrowing / Rainforest (RH: 70-80%) Known for both their beautiful blue-black coloration and their very feisty defensive attitude, the Cobalt Blue has been enormously popular in the tarantula hobby for decades.

Encyocratella olivacea (Tanzanian Black & Gold Baboon) 1" 1/2 inch $80.00
Scientific Name: Encyocratella olivacea Adult Leg Span: 5 - 6" Country of Origin: northern Tanzania Habits/Habitat: Semi-arboreal / Tropical Forest (RH: 70-80%) Also known for a while as Xenodendrophila gabrieli, this species is from the highland forests of northern Tanzania (e.g., Arusha). A semi-montane species, it thrives at cooler household temperatures. It has tree-dwelling habits, but most captive specimens will create burrows in the substrate and many keepers house them more like terrestrial spiders.

Monocentropus balfouri (Socotra Island blue baboon) 1/2 inch *SOLD OUT*
Scientific Name: Monocentropus balfouri Adult Leg Span: 4 - 5" Country of Origin: Yemen Habits/Habitat: Terrestrial / Tropical Rainforest (RH: 50-80%) This amazing tarantula is not only beautiful (fawn body and blue legs!), but exhibits fascinating social behavior. It is one of the few species that can be housed communally, and young tarantulas can be raised to adulthood with their mother. Although most keepers would separate the spiders before the younger generation got that large, it is not uncommon to have a female produce and hatch an egg sac with the previous generations young still in the terrarium. Many breeders eventually move the mother to a different enclosure and allow an entire brood of young spiders to grow together. (Note: Communal groups are most successful if hatched from same egg sac and raised from spiderling together. The terrarium should offer a good depth of soil to allow for numerous burrows). M. balfouri creates wonderful burrows in the terrarium that may have more than one entrance and will be lined with silk. Socotra Island is part of an archipelago that is a territory of Yemen located in the Arabian Sea.
Lychas Tricarinatus (Marbled Scorpion) 2i-3i scorplings $25.00 each/ ×3 for $50.00/ x5 for $80.00/ or x10 for $100.00

Blaberus craniifer (deaths head ****roach) ×10 small-medium mix $40.00
Scientific Name: Blaberus craniifer Country of Origin: Mexico, the West Indies, and Central America Habits/Habitat: Burrowing/Tropical (RH: 70-80%) Death’s head roaches are a beautiful and interesting roach that can be kept as pets or used as feeders. The name “death’s head” comes from the orange “jack o’ lantern” face on the pronotum. Nymphs are greyish brown like dubia and like to burrow through the substrate, but adults tend to stay above ground where they are more visible. This species appreciates a variety of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, apples, or oranges. Care is similar to dubia but these roaches prefer temperatures a bit cooler than dubia (around 75-80°F), and should have a few inches of substrate like coco fiber for the nymphs to burrow in.
