An interesting and docile pet, my teenage son used this tarantula to help overcome his arachnophobia.
She comes with:
- a 10-gallon tank with removable metal-grate lid
- 60 watt infrared heat-lamp & fixture with clamp
- "water bowl" rock
- temperature & humidity gauges
- plastic aquarium plants
- ceramic "house"
"Like most New World tarantulas, they will kick urticating hairs from their abdomens and their back legs if disturbed, rather than bite.
They are only slightly venomous to humans and are considered extremely docile, though, as with all tarantulas, allergies may intensify with any bite."
