I am having a break from work (still feeding & cleaning the bugs continually!) until Monday 6th January. I will catch up with emails and orders upon my return.

Royal Mail is just too unreliable to post my precious bugs during December.

Happy Christmas & Best Wishes for the New Year x

I will resume posting orders from Monday 6th January 2025 (weather permitting)



  • Phormictopus auratus - Giant Bronze Birdeating Tarantula

Common Name: Giant Bronze Birdeating Tarantula
Scientific Name: Phormictopus auratus

Status: Captive Bred

Country of origin - Cuba/Central America
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability: Not overly aggressive but not to be handled

My Opinion:
A large, bulky, attractive spider. Not so common in the pet hobby these days. Tend to sit out in full view so they make a good display animal but I would not recommend picking them up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 2cm, 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.
