Pink hairs all over the body1
Very large fangs, with the top of the body raised to make room for the large chelicerae (jaw segments)1

值得了解

事实

It has only rudimentary eyesight. Instead, it senses its surroundings through hairs (setae) across its body, feeling vibrations in the ground and air and picking up chemical signals, a bit like a sense of smell.1

Females can live for well over twenty years, while males live for only about five or six years.1

It is considered very calm and docile for a tarantula, which, along with its striking looks and large size, makes it an attractive pet.1

Males have tibial hooks, or apophyses, on their legs that hold back the female's fangs during mating.1

Males have longer legs and smaller bodies than females once they are mature.1
