Here we have the desired, the beloved, the wonderful G. pulchra. Are all these attributes warranted? Umm, yes! You get a jet black pet rock that will live for 20 years (if female) and eats anything you put in with it. Compound all that with a gentle nature and the aforementioned lifespan, and the end result is you need one! They hit 6″ fully grown and do well in temps of 72-86 with humidity of 65%. This is one of the best beginner tarantulas. Note: This particular animal needs to molt before it is shipped, therefore if you buy it you MUST BE WILLING TO WAIT until it molts before it is shipped.
