Discover the stunning Hapalopus guerreroi, commonly known as the Speckle Patch Tarantula. This beautiful New World terrestrial/semi-arboreal species from Colombia is the largest species in the Hapalopus genus, prized by collectors for its intricate speckled pattern, impressive size for a dwarf tarantula, and active personality—making it an excellent choice for intermediate keepers seeking a unique and eye-catching species.

Why Choose Hapalopus guerreroi?

• Largest Hapalopus Species: The biggest species in the Hapalopus genus, reaching 4-5 inch leg span at maturity—significantly larger than other Hapalopus species
• Intricate Speckled Pattern: Beautiful orange, black, and tan speckled pattern creates a unique display unlike the striped Pumpkin Patch
• Active & Visible: Often out in the open, making it a joy to observe—much more active than many terrestrial species
• Semi-Arboreal Behavior: Enjoys both ground-level and vertical space, creating interesting display opportunities with heavy webbing
• Fast Growth Rate: Reaches maturity relatively quickly compared to larger species

Care Requirements

This terrestrial/semi-arboreal species thrives in a small to medium enclosure with moderate substrate depth (3-4 inches) and vertical climbing space, a hide, moderate to high humidity (70-80%), and warm temperatures (75-82°F). Provide both ground-level and vertical décor for optimal enrichment.

⚠️ Intermediate Species: Can be defensive and fast-moving. Recommended for keepers with some tarantula experience.
