Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula (Psalmopoeus irminia) - 3/4" (Sling)

Velvet black with veins of orange fire, and faster than pokies twice its size Psalmopoeus irminia, the Venezuelan Suntiger, is one of the most striking spiders you can keep: deep velvet black lit by vivid orange chevrons blazing down the abdomen and flame-markings streaking the legs. It is a semi-arboreal from northern South America, a spider that lays up in silk-lined tree hollows. A living display piece, a slice of jungle firelight on eight legs. Do not let the beauty fool you. This one is fast, keepers swear it is quicker than pokies twice its size, and defensive when cornered, which puts it at Spice 4 and firmly in Advanced hands. The upside: it carries no urticating hairs, which is exactly why it is the go-to first fast arboreal. Coming to you at 3/4 inch, it is a quick grower that will size up out of a starter kit into a tall corked home. The care guide has the full setup and the rehousing playbook. Read it before you open the enclosure.
