Juvenile Pterinochilus murinus / orange baboon {rcf} ORANGE BITEY THING

Pterinochilus murinus, commonly known as the orange baboon spider, is a highly aggressive and venomous tarantula species characterized by its vibrant orange coloration. When spiderlings hatch, they typically display a bright orange or reddish hue, which can darken as they mature. Maintaining optimal temperatures between 24-28°C (75-82°F) with moderate humidity levels is essential for their health and development. These spiders are notably quick and defensive, earning the nickname "orange bitey thing," not recommended for handling.
