Brazilian black tarantula
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

怎样认出它
- 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
常被误认为: 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
毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它的毒液会造成什么?
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
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。它害怕时会做什么?
If provoked, it would much rather flee than attack.1
注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

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