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

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

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

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Akiuma

  • Osha jeraha na ulipoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu kama maumivu ni makali au mtu anajisikia vibaya.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Pinktoe tarantulas need high humidity to survive.

Ukweli: Outdated advice says they need high humidity, but in captivity they should be kept on dry substrate with a water dish.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
