The Brazilian black tarantula is famous for its velvety appearance and unusually calm temperament, but its slow growth, long lifespan, and murky trade history make it a species worth understanding before buying.

I dont normally condone the handling of tarantulas, mostly for their own safety, but every single time I go to feed or water this little friend, they come running to visit. Arizona blonde sling (Aphonopelma chalcodes)

Please read regarding regal jumping spider adoptions:
You all have been so kind and so patient while waiting for the newest clutches to become of adoption age. Unfortunately, due to unknown reasons, we are losing a lot of these jumpers to mismolts, and just random loss. The only time this occurred in the past was when mama Cheeto was of older age and her clutches were not the most viable. I dont know Mama Elsa's history, but this has been extremely disheartening, discouraging, and sad. I am currently raising 5 of her clutches and will keep everyone updated, but as of right now, we will not have any jumpers available in the near future. My deepest apologies to those who have been waiting.

My mature male pumpkin patch died far too soon after maturing. I knew it likely wouldn't be too long, and even quicker since he decided not to eat anything i offered...but damn this sucks.

I haven't decided FOR SURE yet, but I currently have 5 curly hair (Tliltocatl albopilosusl tarantulas. I am definitely keeping the two adults, but I have 3 juveniles that I got in December 2024 that might be up for adoption. I am just trying to gague if there was any interest. This would be local pickup only.

After hiding and fully sealing his/her little cave for a couple of weeks, we have now emerged from another successful molt. I love this gorgeous babe.

I got this little dude in March. It just completed its third molt with me. Look at that change of clothes!!! I cant wait until I can get better photos. This species is stunning, always on display, and has an amazing feeding response.
