Small in size, big on collector appeal. The Paloma Dwarf Tarantula (Aphonopelma paloma) is an Arizona-native dwarf species that maxes out at approximately 1.5 inches. For enthusiasts drawn to smaller tarantulas or building a collection of USA-native species, it offers a compact alternative to the larger members of Aphonopelma.

A dedicated display invites you to slow down and appreciate this little tarantula on its own scale. Choose a secure, appropriately sized enclosure with a suitable retreat, and make observation rather than handling the focus. Confirm species-specific substrate, moisture, and temperature requirements before finalizing its setup.
