Spring Spider Sale! (I’m going on holiday next month)

 

I am continuing to clear stock so I will be reducing many of my tarantulas and I am also open to offers on those tarantulas that are not already reduced. All my tarantulas are captive bred.


I do not sex tarantulas, I am well aware that ideally, we would all like females however nature does not work like that!

 

If you would like a photo of the actual spider (any size) just email - [email protected]


Common Name: Giant Vinegaroon (Whip Scorpion)
Scientific Name: Mastigoproctus giganteus

Size: Juvenile (born July 2024)
Status: Captive born

A large black scorpion like creature, really different! Take care, the name Vinegaroon comes from their ability to squirt a vinegar like substance from their long tail!

How I keep mine

I keep my Vinegaroons separately in plastic boxes with peat or coir on the base and pieces of bark or half a flower pot to hide under. I place my boxes on a shelf with a heat mat on it, I use a strip heat mat (15cm wide) and this covers part of the base of the box (several boxes can fit on one long mat). Like most bugs it is a good idea to give them a dry and a damp area to choose from. I find the area above the heat mat is dry and the area not covered by the heat mat is more moist.  I use plastic boxes for my Vinegaroons as I have lots of arachnids and don't have the space to keep them all in individual tanks but of course they do equally well when housed in a plastic or glass tank and are much more visible. I feed my vinegaroons on crickets or cockroaches once a week.
