- Also known as Costa Rican Zebra, Stripe Knee, "Pica Caballo" (horse biter).
- This New World Terrestrial is from various countries in Central America, but predominantly Costa Rica.
- The adult size is about 6".
- Their coloring ranges from a dark almost black with near-white striping on the legs to a brownish/grey color with cream colored striping. Their spinnerets and undersides are pale; some are flesh colored.
- Sometimes the zebra is an opportunistic burrower that may use a provided shelter. Most will prefer to do some digging and may make their own burrows. Many long-term captives will spend a lot of time sitting in the open. In the wild, they dig angled tunnels with a roomy chamber at the end.
