About: This large bodied terrestrial species is a perfect addition to any collection. They are found from Brazil down to areas of Argentina, found in tropical grassland areas. They enjoy having a starter burrow. This tarantula is known for being incredibly docile, rarely flicking hairs, and known for its calm demeanor. These seem to often go overlooked in favor of other starter species. They are good eaters and rarely miss a meal.
