Common Name: Curly Hair Tarantula
Scientific Name: Tliltocatl albopilosus

Status: Captive bred

Size: Adult male (Matured November 2024)

Country of origin - Honduras, Central America
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability: Generally a friendly tarantula, popular with beginners

My Opinion:
A pretty tarantula, the hairs curl around the legs and beneath the body, they are quite unique. They tend to sit out in full view, are large and friendly. Often chosen as a first pet spider. Easy to breed and rear.

This animal is covered by CITES regulations, Annex B. I do not import animals and therefore know relatively little about CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). I can send these animals to EU countries (I do not supply certificates) and I cannot send to countries outside the EU. Please do not order these animals unless your postal address is within the European Union. Please do not order these animals if you require a certificate. If an animal is ordered in error I will remove the item from your order and refund the price of the animal.

Male tarantulas generally live for about a year. Some may live longer and some will not last the year. It is variable as to how long they live and how long they are viable for mating. I cannot guarantee the viability of any male spider, I always state the month in which the spider matured. It is best to attempt mating with a younger male but it may well be worth trying with an older specimen too!
