Common Name: Venezuelan Sun Tiger Tarantula
Scientific Name: Psalmopoeus irminia

Status: Captive Bred

Country of origin - Venezuela
Habitat: Tree dwelling
Suitability: Not for beginners, fast moving

My Opinion:
These tarantulas are striking, black with pretty orange markings on the abdomen and legs. Like most arboreal spiders they are fast moving and can be quite aggressive at times (if challenged).  They are fairly easy to keep but like an airy vivarium.

It is difficult to give a size for the spiders as stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling up to 1.5cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderling with a body length of about 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 medium or large size spider that you are interested in, just email me!

All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
