Genus Haplopelma

A retired name, kept as a page because the trade has not retired it: listings under Haplopelma still appear years after the genus was formally dismantled, and they describe animals that now belong to Cyriopagopus, Melopoeus and their relatives.

Everything that traded here is a Southeast Asian fossorial with the full regional profile: deep burrows, webbed entrances, speed, defensiveness, and venom that is a genuine medical consideration. The cobalt blue, the Thailand black, and the Chinese golden earth tiger all spent decades under this name. No handling applies to every animal the label ever covered.

For a buyer, this page is a translation table. A Haplopelma listing is usually priced against an older market than the current genus names are, and the same animal frequently sits at different prices under its old and new labels. Search both directions before paying either.
