Homoeomma chilensis
Homoeomma • Theraphosidae
Long known in the hobby as 'Euathlus sp. red' (now Homoeomma chilensis), this Chilean dwarf is famous for an unusually gentle, inquisitive temperament. Keep dry and cool-to-room-temp with a water dish for molt humidity. Small, slow-growing, and very long-lived — an excellent first tarantula.
