We build the software invertebrate keepers actually use.
Appalachian Tarantulas is a small Appalachian-based company making husbandry tools for people who keep tarantulas, scorpions, reptiles and amphibians — plus the care research that goes into them.
Tarantuverse — husbandry tracking for ten invertebrate groups
What we build
Tarantuverse
Husbandry tracking for tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes and seven more invertebrate groups. Feeding and molt logs, species-aware care schedules, growth history, breeding records, and a keeper community.

The same idea for reptiles and amphibians — snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs and more. Shed and weight tracking, feeder inventory, genetics calculators, and species care references.

We keep and breed these animals ourselves — it's where the care research comes from. Captive-bred stock will be available here with a live arrival guarantee and weather-aware shipping. We'd rather open late than ship an animal we're not confident in.

Most husbandry advice online is inherited, uncited and contradictory. We keep a structured care database — temperature and humidity ranges, enclosure sizing, feeding intervals by life stage, venom and urticating hair warnings — and we say where it came from. When we don't know something, the app says so instead of guessing.
