Euathlus sp. 'Bronce' (Chilean Pink Flame)

Euathlus sp. 'Bronce' (Chilean Pink Flame)

This Chilean dwarf species is a standout for its lighter fuzzy coloration that matures into a stunning pink and red orange, especially vivid on adult males. Females are not as well documented in photos, but we expect them to share the same gorgeous pink tones based on what we have seen so far. Slings are currently small but they should grow into a manageable 3.5 to 4 inch leg span at maturity, which makes them a perfect fit for collectors looking for something rare and display worthy without needing a large enclosure. This is a very hard to source species, and we are excited to bring them to U.S. collectors. Grab this New World tarantula for sale today and add a true standout to your collection.

Why do hobbyists keep Euathlus sp. 'Bronce'?

• Rare Pink and Red Orange Coloration: develops with age and is especially vivid on adult males, with females suspected to share the same gorgeous pink tones
• Dwarf New World Terrestrial: small adult size at 3.5 to 4 inches makes this a great fit for collectors with limited space
• Very Rare in U.S. Captivity: hard to source and only a handful of U.S. breeders are working with this species
• Docile Temperament: calm and easy to work with, prefers to retreat into webbed hide

How should Euathlus sp. 'Bronce' be kept?

• Adult Size: 3.5 to 4 inches leg span at maturity
• Enclosure: Like all Euathlus, this species like a terrestrial encloure at least 3x the legspan, with good ventilation! Do not let the enclosure get to wet or slings will not thrive. The soil should be moist but not soaking wet. 
• Temperature: 65 to 75°F
• Humidity: moderate, allow the top layer of substrate to dry between mistings
• Water: shallow dish at the base, refreshed regularly
• Diet: appropriately sized prey roughly equal to the carapace (head), small crickets or roaches work great
• Temperament: docile and slower moving!

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Limited Photo References: few documented photos of mature females, so the prediction of pink coloration in females is based on what we have seen in males and sling growth patterns
• Very Hard to Source: only a few breeders in the U.S. are working with this species
• Heavy Webbing Means Rehousing: extensive silk structures mean rehousing requires patience and care
• Slow Grower: like other dwarf Euathlus species, growth rate is on the slower side

Listing Notes:

• Unsexed slings available
• Sexed specimens listed as confirmed male or confirmed female based on molt
