What Is the Albino Tarantula in Grow a Garden?
The Albino Tarantula is an A-Tier pet in Grow a Garden, a visual rarity variant of the standard Tarantula. Its striking white-and-pale coloration makes it one of the most visually distinctive pets in the game. While it shares the same universal hatch weight formula as all other pets — including Jandel and Raiju — its rarity drives a significant trade premium.
Unlike S-Tier pets, the Albino Tarantula has no unique mutation mechanic. Its value is driven entirely by visual scarcity and size tier. A Super Giant Albino Tarantula (hatch weight > 9 kg) is the peak target for traders.
The Albino Tarantula uses the same hatch weight formula as every pet: Wh = (11 × Wb) ÷ (A + 10) where Wb is base weight and A is age in days at hatch. Hatch younger for heavier weight.
