Brazilian Black Tarantula (Grammostola pulchra)
$74.99
A deep-black terrestrial tarantula for an observation-first display. The Brazilian Black tarantula (Grammostola pulchra) is known in the hobby for its uniform dark coloration and substantial terrestrial form. This listing is for one live animal. No customer-facing size, sex, or life-stage option is currently displayed, so contact us before ordering if those details affect your enclosure plan.
Enclosure planning
Prepare a secure terrestrial enclosure before arrival. Prioritize usable floor space, a low fall distance, an opaque hide, and enough suitable substrate for the animal to establish a retreat. Provide a clean water dish and ventilation without placing the enclosure in a busy or brightly lit location.
Feeding and molting
Offer appropriately sized live invertebrate prey and remove uneaten prey. A tarantula that refuses food or is preparing to molt should be left undisturbed; never attempt to assist a molt unless directed by an experienced exotics veterinarian.
Keeper safety
This is an observation animal, not a routine handling pet. Handling creates fall risk and may expose the keeper to defensive hairs or a bite. Use a catch cup and controlled container transfer when the animal must be moved.
Arrival preparation
Have the enclosure ready before delivery, monitor tracking, and review our Shipping Add-Ons before checkout. See more animals in the Tarantulas collection.
