25+ Megaphobema Tarantulas for Sale from 26 Sellers
South American giants with a defensive behavior nothing else does: threatened, they spin in place and kick backward with the rear legs, which are noticeably thickened for exactly that purpose.
M. robustum out of Colombia is the common one, red-legged and large. M. mesomelas from Costa Rica is smaller, cooler-running and considerably harder to source. Both want more humidity than a typical New World terrestrial and neither tolerates heat well.
mesomelas is the price story. It comes from montane cloud forest, it does not breed reliably in captivity, and it dies in setups kept at the temperature most keepers default to. Thin supply plus high attrition keeps it expensive and keeps it appearing and disappearing from the market.
The line on each tile: lowest ask per day.
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.
