75+ Thrixopelma Tarantulas for Sale from 32 Sellers
Peruvian and Chilean terrestrials, moderately sized, and easier than their old world looks suggest. T. ockerti, the Peruvian flame rump, is the common entry.
In 2025, taxonomists moved several species out of Thrixopelma and into the new genus Ewok, including the Peruvian green velvet (now Ewok pruriens) and the cobalt red rump (now Ewok cyaneolus); ockerti, lagunas and longicolli stay here, and most shops still list the moved ones under this genus.
They sit in a useful middle: not as slow as Grammostola, not as fast-growing as Phormictopus, calm without being catatonic, and comfortable at cooler temperatures than most tropicals. Genuinely underrated as a second or third tarantula.
The genus keeps expanding as Peruvian material gets described, so a large share of what trades is sp. plus a locality name. Those undescribed forms carry a premium that is really a bet on future description, and several have quietly turned out to be the same animal under different collector labels. Check listing counts across similar names before paying up.
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.
