Tarantuverse is a husbandry tracker built for invertebrate keepers — a calm, organized home for your whole collection and the care that goes into it. Whether you keep a single sling or a room full of enclosures, Tarantuverse helps you remember what matters: when each animal last ate, when it molted, when the substrate was changed, and how it's growing over time. KEEP YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Track many invertebrates in one place — tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, whip spiders, vinegaroons, true spiders (including jumping spiders), millipedes, mantises, and roaches. Every animal gets its own profile with photos, husbandry details, and a full history. LOG THE CARE THAT COUNTS Feeding logs — what you offered, accepted or refused Molt logs — with optional measurements to track growth Substrate changes and enclosure notes Smart feeding reminders so nobody gets forgotten UNDERSTAND YOUR ANIMALS Premolt predictions from feeding patterns and molt history Growth charts built from your molt measurements Feeding stats and collection insights SPECIES CARE SHEETS Browse 300+ species care sheets across all nine groups — temperament, temperature and humidity ranges, enclosure guidance, feeding by life stage, and honest safety and venom notes. Search and filter by care level, and link an animal to its species to compare your setup against the guide. New species are added regularly. PHOTOS & QR LABELS Build a photo timeline for each animal. Generate printable QR enclosure labels and upload photos straight from your phone by scanning the label. A COMMUNITY OF KEEPERS Share a public profile, follow other keepers, join the forums, and message fellow hobbyists. Keep your collection private or public — your call. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Export your full collection anytime and delete your account whenever you like. We keep care and species information honest — if we don't know something, we leave it blank rather than guess. Tarantuverse is free to use. Premium unlocks an unlimited collection and advanced analytics for serious keepers and breeders. We're a small, growing project built by a keeper who wanted a better way to care for these incredible animals — adding species and features all the time. We'd love to have you along. Happy keeping.
