Peach Earth Tiger Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Aspinochilus rufus). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
A peach-toned Asian earth tiger that spends its whole life underground
Aspinochilus rufus, the Peach Earth Tiger, is an Asian fossorial tarantula carrying a warm peach-to-rust wash over a dark body, strongest across the carapace and legs on a freshly molted animal. These arrived at three-quarters of an inch, still a small sling, and like the rest of the earth tigers it is going to spend most of its life inside a burrow rather than on display.
Old World, fast, and defensive. There is no urticating hair to fall back on here, the temper is genuinely short, and the bite is reported as painful. That makes this a tongs-only, no-handling animal, and small size does not make it a beginner spider. Slings want a deep substrate column that is moist but never wet, a starter burrow already begun for them, and as close to zero disturbance as you can manage. Expect to see the burrow entrance far more often than you see the spider. Spice 4, advanced lane, and the care guide is required reading rather than optional.
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 →
