Indian Violet Spider

Chilobrachys fimbriatus

Description:

This is a beautiful tarantula. The carapace is a work of art. The abdomen is a copper color with black stripes. You will very seldom see this species. I don't allow this species to gorge themselves; by doing so they stay at the mouth of their burrow waiting for prey. This allows me to see a natural behavior of stalking and get a glimpse of the tarantula. It is also a prolific Weber and will web the entire enclosure. This species is more for the advanced keeper.

Habitat:

Tropical forest
