- Also known as Brazilian Salmon Pink, Brazilian Salmon, Campina Grande Salmon, Salmon Pink Birdeater.
- This New World Terrestrial is from the tropical rain forest floor of Eastern Brazil, near Campina Grande in Paraiba.
- They will often sit out in the open. Some individuals are handy with the urticating hairs, while others are quick to defend themselves via biting. Though they are not as prone to fang-weilding as some other tarantulas, most will make it clear that they do not want to be handled.
- Average adult size is 9" - 10".
- One of the world's largest non-marine arthropods (possibly the third largest tarantula species). They don't burrow much nor do they make large webs.
- Their name comes from the long pink hairs that sprout forth from their abdomens, legs, and chelicerae. These are bulky spiders, with a fairly large carapace in relation to leg length.
- Their lifespan is usually between 15 - 20 years. When bred, they can have eggsacks with up to 2,000 eggs!
