Costa Rican Zebra Tarantula – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Costa Rican Zebra Tarantula:
The Costa Rican Zebra Tarantula - also called the the Striped-knee Tarantula - is native to most of western Costa Rica, as well as other parts of Central America, such as Honduras and Nicaragua It is usually black with white stripes near the joint, however a brown color formation also exists for the spider. Zebra tarantulas are deep-burrowing spiders. They live in open semi-arid scrublands, and are often found in large aggregations. The deep burrows keep the temperature below the highest daytime temperatures, and retain humidity. Conversely as temperatures drop at night, the burrows buffer away from the lowest temperatures. Zebra tarantulas can grow to about 5-6 inches (10–13 cm) including the legs. Females can live up to 20 years. Males however, tend to live a much shorter life of up to five years, with approximately a single year of maturity. Diet consists of many insects. In the wild, they will eat a wide variety of insects such as grasshoppers and cockroaches. In captivity they will eat crickets.

King Baboon Tarantula – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the King Baboon Tarantula:
The King Baboon Tarantula native to the scrublands and grasslands of East Africa. It grows to about 9 inches (20 cm) in leg span. As a burrowing species, the back legs are very thick and used for digging burrows. It is popular among tarantula collectors but is highly aggressive and not suitable for beginners. They also have very strong venom (although none of the tarantulas is known to have a bite that is deadly to humans); a bite from a juvinile of this species caused sharp pain and strong hallucinations and the place of the bite remained itchy for five days. It puts silk at the burrows entrance to detect vibrations. These spiders hunt beetles, cockroaches, and other spiders, although they can kill mice, lizards, snakes, and birds. Like all old world spiders, the king baboon tarantula has no urticating hairs, and can be very defensive. When provoked, they rear up, and strike down repeatedly. This is one of only a few Theraphosid spiders that can stridulate as a major defense mechanism.
