無害對人無害。不用擔心。
對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

The Brazilian black tarantula is a large, spider-like animal from Brazil. Mature adults are almost entirely black, which makes them a popular and fairly expensive choice for the pet trade. It is a slow-growing species, and its long-lived females are especially prized.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Mature specimens are almost entirely black.1
  • Reaches up to 18 cm (7 in) when fully grown.1
  • Grows slowly, taking up to eight years to reach maturity.1
  • As a juvenile in captivity, it tends to burrow when given the chance.1

常被誤認為: Many animals sold as Brazilian black tarantulas are actually Grammostola quirogai, the Uruguayan black tarantula. It has a nearly identical appearance and was only identified as a separate species in 2015.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用?

Its venom is less irritating than that of many other tarantula species. Like most New World tarantulas, it has urticating hairs, which it can release from its body when provoked.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

牠害怕時會做什麼?

If provoked, it would much rather flee than attack.1

如果牠咬人

  • 清洗咬傷處並冷敷。如果很痛或傷者覺得不舒服,要就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識

1

It is a slow grower, taking up to eight years to reach maturity.1

2

Females of this species will almost always outlive males by many years.1

3

Many of its urticating hairs stay put, so it often does not spread them around its home, unlike some other tarantula species.1

4

Its solid black body makes it an appealing tarantula for the pet trade.1

破解迷思

迷思: Every black tarantula sold as a Brazilian black tarantula comes from Brazil.

真相: Many animals sold under this name are actually Grammostola quirogai, the Uruguayan black tarantula.1
