The fringed ornamental tarantula is a large spider that lives high in trees. It is found only in Sri Lanka, and its bright, patterned body makes it one of the most striking tarantulas. Its bite is considered medically significant, so it is worth knowing about.1

The venom may cause intense pain and extreme muscle cramping. This is judged from the experiences of keepers who have been bitten by this species, rather than from recorded cases of human harm.1

No death from a tarantula bite has ever been recorded. This species is still considered to have a medically significant bite because of the pain and cramping its venom may cause.1

Fatgs

1

It may live in a mutually beneficial relationship with frogs such as Ramanella nagaoi, sharing tree holes that can contain eggs or juveniles from the spider, the frog, or both.1

2

In a related observation, a frog (Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata) and a different tarantula (Xenesthis immanis) were seen together, with the spider protecting the frog from predators and the frog guarding the spider's eggs from ants.1

3

When tree holes are scarce, several of these spiders may live together in the same tree.1

4

Its legspan is probably the second largest in its genus, behind Poecilotheria rufilata.1
