The Trinidad chevron tarantula is a large hairy spider that lives only on the island of Trinidad. It spends much of its life in tree bark and crevices, and it is also a popular pet in many countries because it is easy to breed in captivity.1

It is arboreal, meaning it lives above ground. It lives in crevices, holes and nooks behind bark, and lines its retreat with sheet-like, tube-shaped webbing. It is also kept as an exotic pet in tall, vertical enclosures.1

It is an opportunistic feeder that eats whatever prey it can subdue. It hunts mainly by ambush, waiting at night and sensing prey through vibrations. In the wild it may eat arthropods and small vertebrates that cross its path.1
