Chilean Rose Tarantula - Out of Stock

The Chilean Rose is one of the most commonly kept species of tarantula. Native to Northern Chile, Bolivia and Argentina, their natural habitat is desert and scrub land.
This tarantula has a diverse diet, feeding on crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches and the odd pinkie mouse. To defend themselves from predators, these tarantulas are able to flick hairs from their rump with their back legs. They are most active during the evening and night time and make an ideal starter spider.
The Chilean Rose is generally a very docile spider, although they may bite if threatened.
