The pinktoe tarantula is a large spider that lives in the rainforests of northern South America. It spends much of its life high in trees, where it hunts insects and small tree frogs. It is often seen as one of the gentlest tarantulas, and it is a popular pet for beginners.1

Tuis

It lives in rainforests and humid climates, mostly in the middle to upper canopy of trees, where wind and airflow keep the air moving. It is an arboreal spider that climbs and leaps between branches. People also meet it as a pet, as it has been kept in the United States since the early to mid-2000s.1

Wat eet dit?

It is an ambush predator that uses its webbing as a trap and senses movement from prey through the web. Its main prey is insects such as crickets, wax moths, grasshoppers and cockroaches. It also eats small tree frogs and sometimes small lizards, although these are not a major part of its diet.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The spider has a bite that injects venom. Its venom is considered mild, even compared with other New World tarantulas.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

It is not very defensive, and it is considered one of the safest tarantulas to handle, although handling is still not recommended. Its venom is mild, so it is a much lower risk than more toxic tarantulas such as those in the genera Psalmopoeus and Poecilotheria.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened it usually runs or leaps away, but it may adopt a threat posture, flick its faeces at the threat, or bite if provoked.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

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Females of this species may eat males after mating, a behaviour called sexual cannibalism.1

Its urticating hairs, which can irritate skin, are released by direct contact rather than being kicked into the air.1

Adult males live about 2 to 3 years, while females live about 6 to 9 years.1

In captivity, the spider can build nests and tunnels using nearby debris when its enclosure is enriched.1

Mature males have a pair of hooks on the last segment of their pedipalps, which they use to build sperm webs and during courtship.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Pinktoe tarantulas need high humidity to survive.

Waarheid: Outdated advice says they need high humidity, but in captivity they should be kept on dry substrate with a water dish. Too much moisture and stagnant air can be fatal to them.1
