Heteropoda boiei (Lichen Huntsman Spider) Heteropoda boiei is a stunning green huntsman spider out of Southeast Asia, prized for its lichen-like coloration and incredible camouflage. Intricate stripes and dots break up the outline across the body and legs, letting this species blend seamlessly into leafy, mossy environments. Males show a brighter, more vibrant green, while females carry a slightly more subdued shade of the same color.

Stunning Coloration: A vivid green body with lichen-like stripes and dots makes this species stand out from other huntsmans and gives it near perfect camouflage against foliage and bark. Great Display Species: Fast and agile, this species is very active and engaging to watch move through its enclosure. Large Size: Reaching up to 6 inches, this is one of the larger and more impressive huntsman species available. Great Feeding Response: Readily eats and often takes down larger prey, growing very quickly as a result. How should Heteropoda boiei be kept? Adult Size: Reaches up to 6 inches at full leg span, an impressive size among huntsman spiders. Enclosure: This species does best with a roomy setup, 8 by 8 by 12 inches as a minimum for adults. Extra vertical and floor space suits its active, fast moving nature. Temperature: Naturally experiences temperatures of 80 to 90 degrees F. We recommend keeping them warm using ambient room temperature rather than a direct heat source. Humidity: High humidity is essential. Weekly misting is a must, reflecting this species' origin in dense jungle environments with heavy seasonal rain. This species prefers conditions on the wetter side compared to most other spiders, so don't let humidity drop. Water: These spiders primarily drink from misting, but a shallow water dish works well as a backup, especially given how moisture dependent this species is compared to most other display arachnids. Diet: Crickets, roaches, and similar feeders sized to the carapace (head) are a safe bet, though like other huntsmans this species will often take down prey close to its own body size. Temperament: Fast and alert, an active hunter rather than a web builder. Quick to bolt rather than stand its ground when startled. Are there any additional notes or considerations? Active Hunter: Unlike many web building species, this huntsman relies on speed and ambush rather than silk to catch prey. Very Fast Movement: Huntsman spiders are among the fastest and most agile spiders in the world. We recommend having an extra catch cup on hand during unpacking and maintenance. Captive Bred: We are proud to offer even captive bred true spiders alongside our tarantulas. This species is 100% captive bred. Listing Notes This listing includes multiple size options. Animals are unsexed, there is approximately a 50/50 chance of male or female on most species.
