Mexican Flame Knee Tarantula: How to differentiate between a Red Knee Tarantula
These auratum tarantulas are difficult to distinguish between Brachypelma smithi. They are commonly mistaken for one another, actually. They were taught to be actually one. Probably, they are descendants of the same specie. These arachnids are black in color with accentuated, lighter edges and marking on their leg joints. Auratum is just a bit slightly darker. Both of them are docile nature and is gifted with long lifespans.
They are also called Brachypelma auratum ande they are tarantulas endemic to the regions of Guerrero and Michoacán in Mexico. Fascinatingly, due to the similarities with it wasn't considered a distinct species until 1992.
However, while the redknee tarantula bears yellow or orange or both markings, the flame knee tarantula exhibits only red markings. If you will observe, these red marks take the shape of fire flames and are situated at the right pattellar area of the body. Flame knee tarantulas also bear a white, horizontal stripe near these markings. The adult may reach a six-inch leg measurement. They are famous for its longevity, and some could live as long as 20 years. Unlike the other tarantulas, Brachypelma Vagans Tarantula, who has a lifespan of 15 years and below. The catch is, growth for the young is slow and maturation may take as long as five years to complete. They are rarely aggressive but may attack if provoked. Bites is painful.

The Chilean rose tarantula or Grammostola rosea also known as the Chilean flame tarantula, Chilean fire tarantula or the Chilean red haired tarantula or the Chilean rose hair tarantula is probably the most common species of tarantula available in pet stores today, due to the large number of wild caught specimens exported cheaply from their native Chile. Grammostola rosea originates from the northern Atacama Desert region of Chile and live in the driest deserts on earth. Grammostola rosea is a common pet of tarantula rearers.
It has been a quarter of months, yeah, almost three months that I have had my Rose-haired Tarantula. It was a little over 12 weeks now. She has moulted/molted once because I am doing powerfeed on him.
I can say that it is one of the most docile or easily taught tarantulas in my collection. It was fun petting this specific hairy spiders. I have learned that the Rose-haired Tarantula has been a standard pet in shops and at home. It can even be part of a science room. How cool is that eh?
Unlike other spiders, this one is quiet and a little shy in terms of spider actions. They require a little room or space unlike the Mexican True Red Leg Tarantula. They are easy to care for and easy to pet.
They are also good-natured and handleable though holding them might cause stress. It should not be hold on for quite a while or often.
They are also inexpensive. They would produce a lot of offsprings, too! THey can produce 500 babies with higher survival.
They can be kept in simple enclosures or house. An aquarium with soil for a shallow burrow is provided. It is advisable to put a piece of driftwood, cork bark, hollow log, or tree-parts so that it can climb and explore its house. Do not practice to put them on different houses now and then. You may put plants and other decorations so long it will not harm the Rose-haired Tarantula.

Nhandu Chromatus Tarantula
Nhandu chromatus or Brazilian black or white tarantulas are spiders that are captive-easy and readily feed. They eat other spiders, cockroach, and other creepers.
These eight-legged creatures can also be housed in any kind of container. They can be kept in any plastic wares or glassrium. A vivarium or converted aquarium is also ideal in a sense that it can creep around in a larger room. It has to have at least a cubic foot (30x30x30 cm, 12x12x12 inch) for a grown spider or an adult. Also, more compartments and floors should also be provided. These terrestrial insects enjoyed burrowing so you might want to put a definite amount of soil in their cribs. You should also provide ventilation for the Brazilian black or white tarantulas but make it sure that it has the required humidity.
The spiderlings are kept in waxworm tubs. When they grew older, they can be kept in larger livefood tubs. It is also beneficial and enjoyable for tarantulas if they have a nice display tank.
No need for decors or anything that would make the aquarium beautiful, in a sense that it would look to humans appealing. At least, an object where the tarantula can climb and hunt for food should be put in the aquarium. A plant may be put but it is not essential as part of the aquarium. One must avoid sharp edges and rough textures in making a house for tarantulas.
Mombasa Starburst Baboon Tarantula
Mombasa Starburst Baboon Tarantula. The baboon spider Pterinochilus murinus, an old world tarantula, was first described in 1897 by Reginald Innes Pocock. This species is found on the African continent, in Angola, as well as central, eastern, and southern Africa. This species is incredibly defensive and should not be held. The bite of this species is extremely painful. The species is more than willing to inflict such a bite before presenting the typical threat display.
Among those who keep tarantulas as pets Pterinochilus murinus is known as OBT, which means Orange Baboon Tarantula or Orange Bitey Thing, and also as the Pterror, a pun on its Latin genus classification of Pterinochilus. These nicknames reference a particular orange color form that is prized in the hobby for its beauty and confrontational personality. It is also known as the Mombasa golden starburst tarantula.
