Eupalaestrus campestratus
Eupalaestrus • Theraphosidae
**Pink Zebra Beauty** — Arguably one of the most docile tarantulas in the hobby. Named for the pink and black striped pattern on its legs. Comes from the grasslands and dry forests of South America. Tolerates slightly cooler temperatures than most tropical species — does well at room temperature in most homes. Slow grower but an incredibly rewarding and calm display animal. Rarely flicks hairs and almost never adopts a threat posture. An excellent beginner species.
