The Chilean Pink Mist (Euathlus sp. Choros)

A Living Strawberry from the Andes

Introducing the Chilean Pink Mist Tarantula— (Euathlus sp. Choros) A rare and mesmerizingl species hailing from the breathtaking Andean regions along the Chile-Argentina border. This stunning New World tarantula flaunts a soft rose-pink carapace, snow-white setae, and a dark velvet abdomen punctuated with a fiery red patch—creating a contrast so striking, it looks like it was painted by Picasso himself!

Fluffy, Friendly, and Full of Charm

Don’t let her vivid colors fool you—this species is a gentle soul. Known for its incredibly docile temperament and slow-moving, curious personality, the Pink Mist Tarantula is ideal for both beginner and advanced keepers alike. These spiders rarely flick hairs, never bolt, and often walk directly onto your hand when you open the enclosure—making them one of the best beginner tarantulas in the entire hobby!

Low Maintenance, High Appeal

This species thrives in a simple setup with dry substrate, a hide and a shallow water dish. Its natural environment consists of arid mountain ranges, making them incredibly hardy and forgiving of small husbandry errors—perfect for keepers who want a stress-free, low-maintenance companion that still turns heads. Reaching just over 4 inches in leg span, they grow slowly but boast exceptional longevity—often living well over 30 years in captivity. Their minimal care needs, combined with their jaw-dropping looks and adorable, fluffy appearance, make them a fantastic long-term pet and a standout addition to any collection!

The Chilean Pink Mist isn’t just a spider—it’s a conversation piece, a joy to raise, and a collector’s dream. Rare in the U.S. hobby and extremely limited in availability, this is your chance to own one of the cutest and most underrated tarantulas out there!

Care & Husbandry Guide

🏠 Enclosure & Substrate

Provide a terrestrial enclosure with a few inches of mostly dry substrate and plenty of open floor space. Choros are naturally curious and will explore their entire enclosure, including low cork, branches, and some vertical space when offered. My Euathlus spend so much time sitting completely out in the open that I don’t consider a traditional hide necessary.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Keep this species cool and mostly dry, with temperatures from the low 60s to mid-70s°F working well. Keep the substrate mostly dry with good ventilation and provide a water dish for hydration. Avoid overly warm, wet, or stagnant setups—like most Chilean Euathlus, Choros doesn’t require tropical humidity.

🍽️ Feeding & Water

Choros are reliable eaters but grow extremely slowly, so they don’t need heavy feeding. Growing specimens can be offered an appropriately sized cricket or roach about once a week, while larger animals can be fed every 7–14 days depending on body condition. Always provide a clean water dish, and don’t be concerned by occasional periods of fasting, especially around a molt.

🕷️ Species-Specific Care

Euathlus sp. “Choros” are hardy, incredibly easy to care for, and have that classic curious Euathlus personality. The easiest way to describe them is like a smaller, more colorful, and even more curious Grammostola. They prefer a cool, mostly dry terrestrial setup with plenty of room to walk around and explore. Even younger specimens regularly stay out in the open, making this an awesome rare species that you actually get to see and enjoy.
