Characteristics: This tarantula is an arboreal species native to the tropical island of Trinidad. Adults of this species range from 4-7 inches and feature chevron markings on their abdomen, and a brown or olive coloration. The ones sold from here are 1".
This species has existed in the pet trade for decades and is considered one of the original tarantulas in the trade. It may be an oldie, but it's a goodie!
The juveniles behave more similarly to ground-dwelling species, but as the spider ages, they move up towards the tops of their enclosures.
This species lacks the urticating hairs that the new world tarantula species generally have. They also lack the potent venom that a lot of old world species possess. That does not mean that this species is docile, or handleable! This species can be very aggressive, and their bites can range from irritating to medically significant if you are susceptible to the venom.
