As many people don’t have much room to house lots of big Tarantulas I thought I’d start this thread of dwarf species, none of them will reach more than 2.5”. Most of mine are slings and comments are my personal experiences of them, the exceptions to this are the Paraphysa sp. Tiger and the H. Incei which are juvi/sub adults.
All the ones I have listed are NW except Heterothele gabonensis which is OW.
Please feel free to add more if you have any.
Ami sp Panama - adult size approx 2.5”. Fairly easy to care for and will web a bit and sometimes burrow.
Cyriocosmus bertae or Dwarf Black Tiger – adult size approx 2”.
Cyriocosmus elegans or Trinidad Dwarf – adult size approx 2”. This one is a burrower
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi or Bolivian Dwarf Tiger – adult size approx 2”. A great webber and greedy feeder.
Hapalopus sp Colombia klein or Pumkin patch small – adult size approx 2”. This one is a burrower and webber that will heap substrate up its web.
Heterothele gabonensis or Gabon Blue Dwarf Baboon- adult size approx 1.5”. The only OW dwarf that I have. A burrower
Holothele incei or Trinidad Olive Tarantula – adult size approx 2”. A prolific webber turning the whole container into a mass of web tunnels.
Holothele sanguiniceps or Trinidad Pink – adult size approx 2”. Small scale burrower.
Kochiana brunnipes or Pygmy Fire Leg – adult size approx 2”. These are great tunnellers.
Paraphysa sp. Tiger or Chile Tiger – adult size approx 2”. This one hasn’t webbed or burrowed seems happy to stay out in the open.
Phlogiellus sp. baeri or Philippine Dwarf – adult size approx 2”. A small amount of webbing but is usually in full view.
