Proshapalopus (Tarantulas)
Proshapalopus is a small genus of terrestrial tarantulas native to Brazil. These spiders are known for their unique coloration and patterns,
though they remain uncommon in the hobby. Most species are medium-sized, fossorial, and can be defensive when disturbed.
Their husbandry often includes moderate humidity and deep substrate, making them suitable for intermediate to advanced keepers who appreciate
less commonly kept genera.
