Thought we’d bring in a spider species we haven’t offered before.

Behold the Dancing White Lady Huntsman.

These guys originate from Africa and love a DRY sandy environment. They are completely harmless to humans. They build really neat sand castles (burrows) to live in and don’t web. They can track their prey just by the vibrations in the sand. Come check em out!

Just a reminder we are closed today. Hope everyone has a hoppy Easter! See you tomorrow🐣🐰

Tarantula Tuesday! We have some super cool Greenbottle Blue baby slings in right now. Each stage of their growth cycle brings exciting and colorful changes. Come check ‘em out!

Here are some facts about GBB’s:

This species is from Venezuela. They will be about 6” when fully grown. They are heavy webbers that create complex web tunnels and hammocks! They uses urticating hairs as a defense and are not venomous at all. They like a dry climate and are low maintenance that makes them an excellent 1st tarantula!
My favorite thing about this species is the vibrant color variations. For example, here you can see an adults greens, teals, blues, oranges and blacks.
No saturation here folks, just good lighting and some vignette to round out the frames! They really are this vibrant!! You can eve see the blue starting come in on the babies.
