Grammostola pulchripes
One of the larger species of
tarantula, the
Chaco golden knee (
Grammostola pulchripes), formerly known by
Grammostola aureostriata,
[1]
can be expected to reach between 20–22 cm (8.5 in). The Chaco Golden
Knee tends to be one of the more docile and calm species of
tarantula
and therefore makes an attractive first pet. The Chaco is an
opportunistic burrowing terrestrial tarantula: they tend to burrow while
younger and adopt a pre-existing hide as its home when it begins to
mature. It is quite flashy in appearance, bearing long light-colored
hairs all over its body and gold stripes on its legs, particularly at
the "knees". This is a good display species as it often sits in plain
view. When it was first imported into the pet trade, it was thought to
be a variant of the
Pink zebra beauty species, but it is significantly larger and can easily be distinguished by those familiar with both species.
