Xenesthis sp. 'Light' (Light Beauty Bird Eater Tarantula) for Sale

This very rare species of Xenesthis is perhaps one of the most colorful in the genus, exhibiting a nearly fully pink carapace in females and bright pink males (almost solid pink).

Both sexes also tend to have darker abdominal hairs, creating a bold high-contrast look that really makes them stand out. In Xenesthis sp. 'Light', the lighter pink carapace with a dark body is absolutely stunning, and it sets them apart from their close relatives. For comparison, Xenesthis sp. 'Bright' shows a deeper, more saturated pink with slightly less coverage.

Xenesthis are renowned for their large adult size (up to 8"), heavy build, and ability to take down large prey as they roam the mountainous forests of South America.

This species thrives in cooler conditions (65–75°F) with higher humidity. A water dish is recommended, and the soil should be kept from drying out.

If you’re looking for an impressive display tarantula with unbeatable color and presence, you cannot go wrong with Xenesthis sp. 'Light'.
Names & Classifications
How we ship live animals:

We ship all live animals using ONLY FedEx Overnight shipping, since it is the fastest and safest way to ship your new pets.

We ship on Tuesdays (for Wednesday arrival) and Wednesdays (for Thursday arrival) and plan shipments on Mondays.

Please make sure to select a FedEx Overnight option at checkout - for "Facility Pickup" or "Home Delivery"!

If your package is over $400 or contains rare/expensive animals we may require you to pick up at your local facility.

**Please remember that "Overnight Shipping" only means that your animal will spend overnight in the box; it does not mean your package shipps immediately and will arrive the next day! **
How we measure invertebrates:

We measure tarantulas and spiders in diagonal legspan. This means the distance from the front right to back left leg (or vise versa) when the animal is stretched out.

Cenitpedes we measure the full length of the animal from the antennae to the back legs

Scorpions we typically measure the body-length of the animal.

Cage Requirements

Choose an enclosure at least twice the tarantula's leg span in width, depth, and height. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and provide a hide to help your pet feel secure.

Diet & Water

Feed your invertebrates crickets, roaches, or mealworms—we primarily use crickets and recommend feeding weekly. Provide a textured, shallow water dish as a drinking source, ensuring it's just water (no sugar, sponges, or additives).

Temperature & Humidity

Keep invertebrates at room temperature (65°F-75°F) and maintain humidity using soil. The soil should be damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds.

Soil & Plants

We use organic coconut fiber for our tarantulas because it resists mold and holds humidity well. For bioactive enclosures, choose nutrient-rich soil, ensuring it is free from insecticides and pests.
