It is time to “make me an offer” on my tarantulas page!
Just drop me an email, tell me which tarantula/tarantulas you would like and how much you would like to pay for each (I may or may not be able to match your offer but there will always be a reduction. It really depends how much I paid and the time put in)
Remember, once the reduction appears on the website you will need to order quickly or someone else may bag the bargain! (the price may only be reduced for a day or two so please don’t ask unless you are ready to buy) If you would like a photo of the actual spider (any size) just email - [email protected]
Common Name: Red Island Bird-eating Tarantula
Scientific Name: Phormictopus atrichomatus
Status : Captive Bred
Country of origin - Cuba & Honduras
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability: Not overly aggressive but large and not for handling
My Opinion:
The Red Island Bird-eater is a very large, bulky and 'furry' tarantula. They are seldom seen in the hobby these days. Not overly aggressive but an imposing spider due to its size. They make a good display animal as they tend to sit out in the open but I wouldn't recommend handling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is difficult to give a size for the spiders as stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling up to 1cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderling with a body length of 1cm to 1.5cm, medium 2cm to 4cm and a large is 4cm to fully adult (but a lot depends on the species!)
I am happy to send a photo of any size tarantula spider that you are interested in, just email me!
All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
