Well, Greg, our mature male GBB (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens), has headed off to another local breeder in the hope of a successful pairing 🤞

In exchange, we’ve welcomed five Tliltocatl albopilosus (Curly Hair) slings and a Phormictopus auratus into the collection.

We also couldn’t resist adding a Brachypelma emilia and a Lasiocyano sazimai while we were at it!

Some really exciting new additions to Exuvia, and we can’t wait to watch them grow 🕷️

🕷️ Meet Greg, the GBB!

Our mature male Green Bottle Blue — Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens.

Originally from Venezuela, these are one of the hobby’s most recognisable tarantulas, known for their incredible blue legs, green carapace, fiery orange abdomen and their huge webbing displays.

In the next few days he’ll be heading off to another local breeder as part of a breeding exchange. In return, we’ll be welcoming some very cool slings to Exuvia! 👀

And, fingers crossed, we might even get a viable egg sac from the pairing 🤞🕷️

We can’t wait to show you what’s coming! 👀

🕷️ MEET GWEN 🕷️

Introducing Gwen — our beautiful female Grammostola rosea NCF (Normal Colour Form).

The Chilean Rose is a true classic of the tarantula hobby. Native to Chile, they’re slow-growing, long-lived and generally known for their calm temperament.

But Gwen is a little more special. 🕷️

While G. rosea was once incredibly common in the hobby, genuine NCF specimens are becoming much harder to find, making these classic-looking Chilean Roses a less common sight than they once were.

And Gwen is certainly a big girl!

There’s something special about a large, mature Grammostola — understated, impressive and a proper piece of tarantula-keeping history.

Welcome to Exuvia, Gwen. 🖤

🕷️ STONEGATE REPTILES → EXUVIA

After a lot of thought, we’ve decided it’s time for Stonegate Reptiles to take a new direction.

Stonegate started from a love of reptiles and exotic animals, and over time that passion has grown into something much broader.

We’re now moving our focus towards invertebrates — with plans to work with, breed and develop a range of tarantulas, true spiders, scorpions, isopods and other fascinating species.

And with that change comes a new name…

EXUVIA.

The name Exuvia refers to the shed outer layer left behind when an arthropod moults — something that represents growth, change and a new stage.

We felt it was the perfect name for what comes next.

This isn’t simply a rebrand. It’s a shift towards a more specialist, focused venture built around the species we’re genuinely passionate about.

🕷️ Tarantulas
🕸️ True spiders
🦂 Scorpions
🪲 Other invertebrates
🌱 Captive breeding & responsible keeping

Stonegate Reptiles will always be where this started.

Exuvia is where we’re taking it next.

Welcome to the next chapter. 🕷️

🚨🌙 LAST NIGHT IN THE SPIDER DEN 🌙🚨

Emerging from the depths like some kind of eight-legged cryptid, our elusive Brazilian blonde tarantula (Nhandu tripepii) decided to grace us with her presence… and immediately commit absolute dinner-time chaos 🕷️💥

We barely ever see this girl – she’s usually buried away in her underground lair plotting world domination (or just being a spider, same thing really). But when she does show up, it’s never uneventful… and last night’s takedown did NOT disappoint.

Lightning-fast, zero hesitation, straight-up ambush mode engaged ⚡🍽️

She’s coming along beautifully though – putting on some solid size and really starting to look the part now. Always a good sign when the food doesn’t stand a chance 😅

Stick around… you never know when she’ll make her next surprise appearance

WHO WANTS TO HOLD A REPTILE?! 🐍🦎👀

No, seriously… who’s brave enough? 😏

🔥 Lizards? Oh yes.
🔥 Invertebrates? The weird and wonderful crew are tagging along too.

Whether you’re a lifelong reptile lover or someone who’s been side-eyeing snakes from a safe distance… this is your moment. Hold one. Face your fears. Or just stand there dramatically while your mate screams — we support all approaches.

🏆 Competitions & prizes
💚 Good vibes for all ages

Come down, say hello, and maybe… just maybe… leave as a certified reptile legend.

A rare moment with Babs 🕷️

Our OBT decided to come out and explore today — and she was looking incredible while doing it 🔥

It didn’t last long though… as soon as she noticed us watching, she made a quick retreat back to her lair.

Classic Babs behaviour.
