Heteroscodra maculata (Togo Starburst Tarantula) 1 1/2" 💙MALE💙

Heteroscodra maculata (Togo Starburst Tarantula)

This is one of the stockier looking arboreal tarantulas.  It is quite well designed to blend in with its natural habitat.  If you see pictures of this species in the wild, you can hardly see them on the trees they inhabit.   They are a bit darker when young, staring off as an olive green.  With age they take on a light grey color with varying shades of black to grey mottled spots. This species is quite the webber and construct ‘rooms’ in their main hiding area.

If you purchased a sexed tarantula: We guarantee the sex of your tarantula for three months or until the next molt.  I know that might sound silly at first, but we want to prevent you from raising up a tarantula for years only then to be hit with the surprise of a mature male.  This also prevents someone from coming back to us years later and telling us they purchased a female but there may be no record of the purchase or there may be a question of if that particular tarantula was from Fear Not.  So to avoid all those unpleasant possibilities, we ask that either you verify the sex with the next molt yourself,  or send it in a vial and we will sex it under the microscope again.

We do not sell a tarantula as sexed unless we are as certain of the sex as we can be using a molt to confirm, but mistakes are possible.
