Grammostola sp. “Concepción” — Concepción Gold Tarantula

Grammostola sp. “Concepción,” also known as the Concepción Gold Tarantula, is one of the rarest and most sought-after Grammostola in the hobby. What makes this species so special is its unusually light, soft pink-gold coloration, which stands out in a big way from the darker, earthier look most people expect from the genus. This is a true high-end collection species, but it still has that calm, hardy Grammostola nature that makes it an excellent choice even for a first tarantula.

Special Notices
Grammostola sp. “Concepción” is a super rare, high-end Grammostola that is prized for its very distinct light pink and gold coloration. This is one of those species that collectors chase because it looks different from almost everything else in the genus, and it is widely considered one of the most desirable and expensive Grammostola out there.

Care is still very simple and forgiving. I keep them like a classic terrestrial Grammostola: secure enclosure, good floor space, enough substrate to settle in, and a hide or starter burrow. Keep them clean, stable, and not too wet.

Care Details
🌡️ Temperature 75–85°F (24–29°C). Warmer temperatures usually mean faster growth because they molt more often, though Grammostola are naturally steady growers.
💧 Humidity Moderate humidity works best. Keep part of the substrate lightly moist for smaller specimens, provide good airflow, and avoid swampy or bone-dry conditions.
🏠 Housing
Babies 1–4 oz deli cup with needle ventilation and enough substrate to feel secure. FREE container at checkout IF requested; not included otherwise.
Juveniles Use an enclosure about 2–3x the spider’s body size, with good floor space, a hide, and a lightly moist area of substrate.
Adults Adults do best in a roomy terrestrial enclosure with secure footing, deeper substrate, a hide, and a water dish for larger specimens.
General Diet
🍽️ Crickets + roaches are the staple diet, including Dubia, Red Runner, and Lobster roaches. Babies take baby crickets or small roaches. If prey is too big, pre-kill it by crushing the head, leave it for the tarantula, then remove leftovers or bolus later. For super large specimens, an occasional pinky/hopper mouse or feeder lizard can be offered very sparingly; excess calcium can cause constipation/pooping issues. We never use pinhead crickets because they do not provide enough protein.

Safety Disclaimer
Safety Disclaimer: Tarantula bites are extremely rare, and there are no recorded human fatalities. Venom strength varies by species; Old World tarantulas are usually more potent than New World tarantulas, with Poecilotheria known for especially strong venom. Larger tarantulas may also deliver more venom.

If bitten, stay calm. Most symptoms fade within minutes to hours, though potent species may cause discomfort for up to a week. In 13 years, I’ve only been bitten once, and symptoms were gone after one week.

Handling is at your own risk. I’m not responsible for bites or injuries. Always prioritize your safety and the tarantula’s well-being.
