Tarantulas of this genus are long-lived. Females may live about ten years after reaching maturity, while males usually live only up to a year after their final moult.1
It is commonly kept as a pet and is regarded as suitable for beginners, which has led to heavy collection from the wild.1
It is mostly active after dark, but can sometimes be active during the day, especially in the morning and evening.1
