Brazilian Salmon Pink Toed Tarantula

The first Tarantula ever recorded (Linnaeus 1758). They earned their name as a result of their pink or orange-tipped legs. They are arboreal and, unlike most other tarantulas tend to jump. They consume large insects as well as small animals such as reptiles and rodents. They only bite if provoked, their bite is painful due to size of fangs, not their venom which normally produces little reaction in humans. Unlike other tarantulas they are unable to release hair
