NOTES: This tarantula is a generous hair-kicker. (Mine definitely lives up to this). The hairs are known to cause more irritation than those of other species. Usually digs a burrow to retreat to, but it does not often hide and typically makes a good display tarantula. (Of course, mine has proceeded to dig an incredibly deep burrow - the entrance to which is under a piece of cork bark. I most often see only the tips of her front legs. I'm hoping she outgrows this with age.)
