Coremiocnemis tropix (Australian Pygmy Tarantula)

Bring the wonder of the Australian rainforest into your collection with Coremiocnemis tropix, commonly known as the Australian Pygmy Tarantula. Highly sought after by invertebrate enthusiasts, this captivating species is celebrated for its compact size, striking appearance, and unique subterranean behaviors.

Key Features

  • Compact Size: Unlike their massive rainforest cousins, this miniature tarantula reaches a modest leg span, making them an ideal choice for keepers looking to appreciate a true tarantula experience in a more manageable enclosure footprint.

  • Velvety Aesthetics: Features rich, earthy brown and golden-bronze velvet tones across its carapace and abdomen, highlighted by fine, delicate setae that give it a soft, shimmering appearance.

  • Fascinating Burrower: A true master architect, Coremiocnemis tropix spends much of its time constructing intricate silk-lined tunnels and subterranean chambers, offering a fascinating window into natural tarantula engineering.

  • Low Maintenance: Perfect for intermediate keepers, this hardy species thrives with straightforward care requirements focused on maintaining proper humidity and damp substrate.

Care & Husbandry Highlights

  • Enclosure: A terrestrial setup with deep, moisture-retaining substrate (such as a peat-coco fiber mix) is essential to allow for their natural burrowing instincts.

  • Temperature: Keep within a warm tropical range of 24°C to 28°C with good ambient ventilation.

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (70% to 80%), maintained by regularly misting one corner of the enclosure and keeping a small water dish available.

  • Diet: Readily feeds on appropriately sized live insects such as pinhead crickets, roaches, and small mealworms.

Note for Keepers: Due to their secretive and fast-moving nature when startled, Coremiocnemis tropix is best suited for observation rather than handling. Their captivating web architecture and unique behaviors make them a phenomenal display animal for any dedicated invert room.
