Today’s featured critters are a pair of Green Keeled Lizards. These are an arboreal species that love to spend their time in the forest canopy. They love to hunt for their crickets every morning before they start basking in their heat. Come out and say hi to them.

Breeding our Psalmopoeus Cambridge. I have tried her with this male on numerous occasions and they never could get the deed done. Today was a success, hopefully the next two times will be also.

Rosalie’s second pairing with this male. We have another female that we will try to breed him with in a few weeks. #eighthelement #ee #eighthelementllc #breeding #grammostolarosea, #tarantula #tarantulas #tarantulasoftheworld #tarantulasofinstagram #feedingtime #eightlegsofawesome #beautifultarantula #amazingcreatures #vogelspinnen #spinnerettes #birdspider #birdspiderofinstagram #tarentule #tarantel #lovemytarantulas #tarantulabreeder #vogelspinne #vogelspinnenofinstagram #tarantulasofig #spinne #spiderseason #aracnideos #aracnids #tarantulapocs #arachnidpics http://www.eighthelementllc.com

About Us

History Eighth Element LLC was founded in the late summer of 2019 by three co-founders Amanda and Floyd VanDruff, and Cheyanne Thomas. Before the business there was the hobby, before that, a singular Nhandu Chromatis named Lydia, the very first tarantula in the Eighth Element family. As the hobby grew, they quickly adapted to the need for tarantula food, and began breeding their own supply of feeder insects, along with making their own feeder food. Their goals adapted, and now Eighth Element’s mission is to offer the highest quality, most unique merchandise on the market, from our family to yours. Why Choose Eighth Element? Eighth Element is dedicated to offer the highest quality, most unique merchandise on the market, from our family to yours. We strive to ensure high standard and quality care with all of our captive bred tarantulas and feeders, as well as maintaining the top customer service and care.
