Long Na Earth Tiger Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Ornithoctoninae sp. "Long Na"). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
A stocky earth tiger with charcoal legs and warm brown contrast.
The Long Na Earth Tiger, Ornithoctoninae sp. "Long Na", has a tan-brown carapace above dark legs, with pale joints picking out the shape of each limb. The broad, solid build gives this form its appeal even without bright colors. These are offered at a 4-5 inch leg span, for experienced keepers; we classify this form as highly defensive.
Spice Level 5: Extreme. For this trade form, our starting point is broader moisture-dependent Asian tarantula care: deep, firm substrate, a sheltered cork retreat, a lightly damp lower layer, and good ventilation. Keep a water dish available and house each spider separately. Enclosure maintenance should be planned, with tools and a catch cup within reach; no handling. The Big Z's care guide covers practical enclosure preparation, feeding, and protecting an occupied retreat during a molt.
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 →

Ornithoctoninae sp. "Long Na"
Identity confidence: provisional. This is a genus, group, or trade name rather than a confirmed species. Treat it as the closest match we can stand behind, and use the more conservative end of any range.
Big Z's Quick Verdict: Build the retreat first: deep, firm substrate, cork cover, a water dish and secure ventilation. Keep the lower soil lightly damp and leave the spider's tunnels intact. The setup below is adapted from care of other captive Asian burrowing tarantulas; the exact needs of this trade form are not established.
| Temp | Stable indoor room temperature, away from direct sun and local heat sources. This is general tarantula keeper practice; no tested temperature range is established for this trade form. |
|---|---|
| Humidity | No fixed humidity % target. Keep the lower substrate lightly damp without standing water, allow the exposed surface to become drier, and provide a shallow water dish. Water slowly down an edge away from the occupied retreat; keep ventilation open. |
| Setup | Deep burrowing enclosure with cork cover, web anchors and secure ventilation |
| Substrate | Use firm, diggable soil/coir substrate. A small sling enclosure can be about two-thirds filled; larger burrowing setups commonly use half to three-quarters fill. These are general keeper layout guides, not tested minimums for this trade form. Choose a container that still leaves usable room above the substrate. |
| Feeding | Offer manageable crickets or roaches, conservatively no longer than the abdomen. Tiny slings may take small pre-killed portions. Adjust meals to feeding response and abdomen condition; reduce or pause when well-fed or refusing. Remove refused live prey promptly; clear any remaining food by the following day. Never leave live prey with a molting animal. |
| Handling | No handling. Prepare a catch cup before opening the enclosure and use tools for maintenance. |
