Hysterocrates crassipes is a burrowing tarantula species found in Cameroon Africa. This species is often sold by pet stores under the name Hysterocrates gigas. Although these tarantulas both come from Cameroon Hysterocrates crassipes does not turn red before molting and has an enlarged tibia on leg pair IV into adulthood whereas H. gigas does not keep these enlarged (thick) tibia. Also H. crassipes do not get as large as H. gigas.
