事实

Its venom starts digestion before the spider even eats the prey.1

Females may attack and try to eat males that approach them when they are not ready to mate.1

In captivity, females have been reported to live up to 20 years, while males live only about 5 years.1

Captive specimens have grown to a leg span of just over 6 inches (15 cm).1

Once captured in large numbers for the pet trade, it is now mostly bred in captivity and rarely caught in the wild.1
