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
Hobbyists nickname it OBT, short for orange baboon tarantula or orange bitey thing, and call it the pterror, a pun on its genus name.1
It can be found in five known colour forms, and the colour is thought to be linked to the type of soil where each form lives.1
Unlike some New World tarantulas, it has no urticating hairs to irritate the skin.1
It builds a tunnel-shaped web.1
It is a nocturnal spider, so it is most active at night.1
