The spider is not particularly defensive. Its main defence is its urticating hairs, which it can flick when threatened. Some individuals may have a nervous temperament.1

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

2

It is commonly kept as a pet and is regarded as suitable for beginners, which has led to heavy collection from the wild.1

3

It is mostly active after dark, but can sometimes be active during the day, especially in the morning and evening.1

4

Adults moult at the end of the dry season, between November and June. Males then begin searching for mates.1
