A group is only ever illustrated with its own animal; groups without a plate show their silhouette. Bars show each group's share of the listings in these groups.
By husbandry, by genus, by rarity.
Husbandry
World, habitat, experience and climate.
Old World Native to Africa/Asia. No urticating hairs, but potent venom and usually fast & defensive.New World Native to the Americas. Has urticating (irritating) hairs it can flick; generally calmer venom.
Terrestrial Ground-dweller — wants floor space and some substrate to burrow into.Arboreal Tree-dweller — wants a tall enclosure with height and cross-ventilation.Fossorial Burrower — wants deep substrate; often hides underground.
Beginner A good first-tarantula choice.Intermediate Best after you've kept a few — faster or feistier.Advanced For experienced keepers: speed, venom, or husbandry demands.
Arid Dry — keep mostly dry with a water dish.Temperate Room temperature; tolerates cooler conditions.Tropical Warm and humid — keep humidity up.
Rarity BETA
Rarity is supply, and only supply: the tier is how many sellers have ever carried a species, and for a single seller, how many separate listings. Price is not part of it, and neither is how recently it appeared. Tiers are given to tarantula species only.
Some of these species are illustrated.
