Tarantula Breeding Projects


 

We have been breeding tarantulas since 2014! One of our greatest joys here at Fear Not Tarantulas is having the privilege of taking part in the entire life cycle of these incredible creatures. We celebrate each egg sac produced whether it is from a Pterinochilus murinus (Orange Baboon Tarantula, OBT) or a Pamphobeteus ultramarinus (Ecuadorian Birdeater).   We try to keep this page updated however some breedings and sacs have not been recorded.
