Chilobrachys huahini (Asian Fawn)

The Asian Fawn Tarantula is a striking Old World species that brings serious attitude to any collection. Native to the tropical forests of Thailand and Malaysia, this beauty earned its nickname from the Hua Hin region where it thrives. First documented in 1996, the Chilobrachys huahini is also known as the Thai Red or Hauhini Bird Spider—a name that hints at its impressive hunting prowess. Perfect for experienced keepers who appreciate a feisty, fast-moving tarantula with personality to spare.

This tarantula doesn't mess around. The Asian Fawn is lightning-fast, defensive, and packs serious venom—making it strictly for experienced keepers. Unlike New World species, it has zero urticating hairs, so it relies entirely on speed and potent fangs when threatened. Expect a true burrower that loves deep substrate and comes alive at night, spinning heavy webs throughout its enclosure. It may even climb occasionally after dark. Not a display spider, but absolutely captivating for those who respect its no-nonsense attitude.
