Listing identity
Brazilian Black & White Tarantula (Acanthoscurria sp. “Brocklehurst”)
$110.00
Bold contrast on a robust terrestrial tarantula. This live Brazilian Black & White is sold under the hobby designation Acanthoscurria sp. “Brocklehurst.” We preserve that stock name rather than substituting a different species identity. The current customer-facing option is Adult/Large; the selected option at checkout remains the sale-format authority.
Enclosure planning
Prepare a secure terrestrial enclosure with ample floor space, a low fall distance, a hide, and burrowable substrate. Include a clean water dish and appropriate ventilation. Furnishings should be stable and free of sharp fall hazards.
Feeding and molting
Offer appropriately sized live invertebrate prey and remove uneaten prey. Reduce disturbance when the animal refuses food, seals its retreat, or shows other signs associated with premolt. Never leave feeder insects with a molting tarantula.
Keeper safety
Use an observation-first approach. A robust New World tarantula may defend itself with urticating hairs or a bite, and direct handling adds unnecessary fall risk. Move the animal with a catch cup and controlled container transfer.
Arrival preparation
Set up the enclosure before delivery and monitor tracking. Review Shipping Add-Ons before checkout, and browse the Tarantulas collection for related animals.
