Orange Ring Tarantula (Holothele longipes) Sling – 0.5cm

Add a rare and fascinating dwarf species to your collection with the Orange Ring Tarantula (Holothele longipes). Native to the tropical environments of Trinidad and northern South America, this New World species is celebrated for the subtle orange-to-copper ringed highlights on its legs, velvety carapace, and intricate webbing behaviors.

At 0.5cm diagonal leg span (DLS), this tiny spiderling is an established feeder with enormous potential. While compact as adults (reaching around 7–9cm leg span), Holothele longipes is famous for its rapid growth rate, incredible appetite, and propensity to build expansive web networks across its enclosure.

• Compact Footprint: Perfect for keepers who love active display species without needing massive enclosures.
