Tarantulas are fascinating creatures that make amazing pets. They are relatively low-maintenance, and with proper care, they can live for many years. However, with so many different species of tarantulas available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing a tarantula:

Temperament: Some tarantulas are more docile than others. If you are a beginner, you may want to choose a species that is known for its gentle nature.

Size: Tarantulas come in a variety of sizes, from the tiny Mexican dwarf tarantula to the giant Goliath birdeater. If you have limited space, you will want to choose a smaller species.

Lifespan: Tarantulas can live for many years, some species over 20 years! So you need to be prepared for a long-term commitment. If you are not sure how long you want to care for a tarantula, you may want to choose a species with a shorter lifespan.

Care requirements: Tarantula care requirements vary depending on the species. Some tarantulas need more humidity than others, and some need more space. It is important to do your research to make sure that you can provide the proper care for the species you choose. When shopping through our site species have detailed information on care in the descriptions.

Once you have considered the above factors, you can start to narrow down your choices. Here are two popular tarantula species for beginners: One being a new world species and one and old world species. If you don’t know the difference we have a blog covering that!
