25+ Heterothele Tarantulas for Sale from 24 Sellers

Old World 2 species Heterothele — commonly said as het-er-oh-THEE-lee

Dwarf old worlds, which is an unusual combination, and communal-tolerant, which is rarer still. H. villosella out of Tanzania is the species that matters.

Under two inches, heavy webbing, semi-fossorial, quick enough during a rehouse to embarrass someone who expected a small spider to be slow. No urticating hairs, but at this size the venom is not the concern the genus name might suggest.

Sellers list them in groups more often than singly, which is the price trap. A group listing next to single-specimen listings looks expensive until you divide. On a per-animal basis these are among the least expensive old world tarantulas available anywhere.

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.
