Velvet Earth Tiger - Ornithoctonus sp "Khao Sok".

Their temperament is 'pricks', I think that kinda sums them up 😅

The mini GBB! Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty (Dolichothele diamantinensis). A gorgeous dwarf species that are just as dazzling as a Green Bottle Blue, but in pocket form. Another one that isn't always available. This one is freshly moulted and sporting a new hairdo.

The Pampas Tawny Red (Grammostola iheringi) is a beautiful New World species. They get pretty big with very bold black and red colouring. I had a mature male here once who lived forever and was MASSIVE! 😂 A fantastic rarer species to add to your collection, especially for any Grammostola lover.

The legwarmers! 😂

Santa Catalina tarantula - Sericopelma sp. Santa Catalina.

This is a giant New World species, with adults having velvety brown hair over them. Generally not too bad, will flick is disturbed, but given it's size, it's not usually too much of an ar****le. 🤣 A nice species for a big display tank once it's larger.

I have some Red Desert jumpers available. These are Phidippus ardens. They like it a little dryer than a regal jumper so a light mist each day for a drink is perfect. These, I find personally, are a lot slower and more docile so great for a nervous keeper, though they do like to sit in their little hammocks more than regals. 5 available at the mo as a few are moulting and it would be rude if I didn't keep any! 😂 😂

I have loads of jumping spiders available, both girls and boys. Both sexes have their own little quirks so as I say to most people..."you'll end up with one of each!" 😂

New acrylic house enclosures in stock!

Perfect for arboreal tarantulas whilst juvenile size and jumping/velvet spiders. Loads of ventilation on each side (no fruit fly feeders as they'll escape the holes).
