Featherleg Baboon Tarantula

Description

Stromatopelma calceatum is the Featherleg Baboon Tarantula. I don’t recommend this for beginners as they do have a medically significant bite and this species is FAST! Did I mention they are fast?

Available as 1/2 inch or so spiderlings at $16 each. Currently feeding on small roaches, house flies or small crickets. Halved mealworms or small mealworms are often accepted, too.

Here’s a link to the Google Photostream of the species, although the keywords sometimes generate other images, FYI.
