Stegodyphus lineatus 'Spotted" (Sahara Velvet Spider)Stegodyphus lineatus (Sahara Velvet Spider) for sale An awesome desert velvet spider species that builds webs in brush that have a tangled look to them. These are white based velvet spiders with different colorforms including white, spotted and black.

Color from an early age: Slings already show their signature orange and black tones

This species appreciates more moisture

Grab this amazing species while they are around

Females and males will exhibit this amazing spectrum of blue and it looks like "pixie dust" stickers (best way I can describe) the coloration is not just one color but a gradient from bright tropical blue/teal to bright blue and sparkles in the coloration in person depending on the angle you are at

providing adequate depth and a secure hide will have a direct impact on how comfortable and visible it is within the enclosure

Unlike many species that spend time hidden

and prone to bolting

the juvenile coloration is also stunning as they transition to adult colors they gain blue legs

and now reclassified to Melopoeus per the 2026 World Spider Catalog revision

but there is a reason it has been in the hobby for decades

Same animal and one molt difference

they're not burrowers – our observations show they dig primarily for moisture
