Grammostola • Theraphosidae
The Chaco Golden Knee is a beautiful and docile New World terrestrial species. Known for their golden-brown coloration with golden bands on the legs, they make excellent display tarantulas.
This species is very tolerant of handling and rarely shows defensive behavior. They are slow growers but hardy and forgiving of beginner mistakes. The Chaco Golden Knee tends to stay out in the open, making them great for observation.
Provide a warm, moderately dry environment with a water dish. They don't burrow much but appreciate a hide.
