Phormingochilus sp. "Akcaya" (Golden Bat Eater Tarantula)
$65.00
If you are looking for a crown jewel for your collection, the Phormingochilus sp. Akcaya (often referred to as the Akcaya Earth Tiger) is a breathtaking contender. A relatively recent addition to the hobby, this species hails from the lowland tropical rainforests of Borneo, specifically the northern regions of Sabah and Sarawak. It is a visual masterpiece, featuring a metallic golden-brown to copper carapace and striking, high-contrast tiger banding on the legs. For the tarantula keeper, the Akcaya represents the pinnacle of "Old World" prestige—a fast, bold, and brilliantly coloured tree-dweller that captures the untamed spirit of the Indonesian jungle.
