Grammostola pulchripes / Chaco Golden Knee spiderling

Grammostola pulchripes, commonly known as the Chaco Golden Knee, is a popular tarantula species prized for its striking appearance and generally docile nature, making it suitable for beginner arachnid keepers. As a spiderling, it requires careful attention to its habitat, including a well-ventilated enclosure with appropriate substrate for burrowing, a consistent temperature of around 75-85°F, and humidity levels of 65-70%. Feeding typically involves small insects like pinhead crickets or roaches, offered every few days, with careful monitoring to avoid overfeeding. As it matures, its coloration develops, showcasing its distinctive golden patches on the knees, and it can live for up to 15 years in captivity with proper care.
