Grammostola pulchra ~ (Brazilian Black Tarantula) ½–¾" – Unsexed Sling

Known for their velvety black appearance and calm temperament, the Brazilian Black Tarantula (Grammostola pulchra) is one of the most sought-after species in the hobby. These slings start out a lighter gray-brown color and slowly darken into the stunning deep black that adults are famous for.

G. pulchra is a New World species, relying more on its docile nature and urticating hairs for defense rather than potent venom. This makes them a favorite for both beginner and advanced keepers. Slow-growing but hardy, these slings will eventually mature into large, beautiful display tarantulas.

Feeding well on appropriately sized prey and thriving with simple terrestrial setups.
