Brazilian black tarantula
The Brazilian black tarantula is a large, spider-like animal from Brazil. Mature adults are almost entirely black, which makes them a popular and fairly expensive choice for the pet trade. It is a slow-growing species, and its long-lived females are especially prized.1

Hoe om dit te herken
- Mature specimens are almost entirely black.1
- Reaches up to 18 cm (7 in) when fully grown.1
- Grows slowly, taking up to eight years to reach maturity.1
- As a juvenile in captivity, it tends to burrow when given the chance.1
Word dikwels verwar met: Many animals sold as Brazilian black tarantulas are actually Grammostola quirogai, the Uruguayan black tarantula. It has a nearly identical appearance and was only identified as a separate species in 2015.1
Gifkrag
Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.
Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?
Its venom is less irritating than that of many other tarantula species. Like most New World tarantulas, it has urticating hairs, which it can release from its body when provoked.1
Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?
Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.Wat doen dit as dit bang is?
If provoked, it would much rather flee than attack.1
As dit byt
- Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is of die persoon sleg voel.
Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels
Bly veilig
- Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
- Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
- As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.
Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
