About this Fella

Lichen Huntsman Spider for sale from Big Z's (Heteropoda boiei). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.

A huntsman that disappears against bark.

Heteropoda boiei, the Lichen Huntsman, is a large Southeast Asian huntsman with a mottled green-grey pattern that hides it against lichen-covered bark. It is one of the huntsmen keepers actually seek out for the look. These arrived at 1.25 to 1.5 inches.

Spice Level 3: Intermediate. Tall enclosure, a wide cork slab to press against, moisture in the substrate and good airflow, and a lid that seals. Very fast; catch-cup transfers only, hands off.

The numbers live in the care guide. Enclosure size, temps, humidity, feeding schedule, premolt signs, handling boundaries: it's all in the care guide for this exact fella. Start with the full Advanced guide, or click for the quick Open the Simple version →

Spice 3: Keeper experience More speed, defensive behavior, or care complexity than Spice 1 or 2. Read the care guide before ordering.
WC: Wild caught Collected from its natural habitat, then settled in at Big Z's before it ships. Plenty of species, adults especially, are rarely bred in captivity, so wild caught is how they reach the hobby. Fossorial: a burrower Digs in and lives underground. Give it deep, packable substrate and a starter burrow, then expect to see it less. Burrow Buddy territory.
