TERRESTRIAL GRAB N GO KIT: Grammostola pulchra/quirogai (Brazilian Black) 1.5"+

Grammostola pulchra (and the closely related Grammostola quirogai)—commonly known as the Brazilian Black Tarantula and Uruguayan Black Tarantula, respectively—are iconic New World terrestrials renowned for their calm temperament, long lifespan, and satin-black elegance. Both species inhabit the open grasslands and scrub regions of southern Brazil and Uruguay, thriving in burrows where soil remains cool and humid beneath the surface. Adult females are among the most visually striking of all tarantulas, exhibiting a uniform jet-black coloration with a velvety sheen that intensifies after molting. Slow-growing and remarkably docile, G. pulchra and G. quirogai are highly sought after for display and handling due to their gentle nature and impressive size. In the wild, they are nocturnal ambush predators, emerging from burrows at night to capture passing insects. In captivity, they require minimal maintenance and thrive in semi-arid enclosures with deep substrate, moderate humidity, and stable warmth—making them ideal centerpiece species for keepers of all experience levels.
