Nhandu tripepii
Nhandu • Theraphosidae
**Brazilian Giant Blonde** — A large, blonde-haired Brazilian species closely related to *N. chromatus*. Defensive and will readily flick urticating hairs. Faster growing than many similarly-sized species. Requires higher humidity than most terrestrial New World species. Not a handling species — flicks hairs aggressively when disturbed. An impressive display species for intermediate keepers comfortable with defensive tarantulas.
