Acanthoscurria geniculata / giant white knee spiderlings

Acanthoscurria geniculata, commonly known as the giant white-knee tarantula, is a large, striking species native to South America, particularly Brazil. Recognizable for its robust body and distinctive white markings on its legs resembling knees, it is a popular choice among tarantula enthusiasts due to its impressive size and relatively manageable temperament. This species prefers warm, humid environments and requires a spacious enclosure with ample substrate for burrowing. While generally docile and suitable for experienced keepers, it can be defensive if threatened, so proper handling and care are essential.
