Click the image to join. Currently there are over 100 genera and over 900 different species of Tarantulas in the world. Only a fraction of those species can be found in the hobby today.

Creating a hybrid Tarantula in captivity is a great concern to most hobbyists and Tarantula breeders/dealers today.

!!CAUTION!!
!!WARNING!!
Handling tarantulas is not advised.
All tarantulas have a certain amount of venom. While most people are not affected, certain cases of envenomation have led to hospitalization. Also, New World species can flick uritcating hairs which can cause allergic reactions. All tarantulas should be considered potentially harmful. Please use caution and respect when dealing with any species.
