Native to the rainforests of northern Brazil, this large, fast-growing tarantula is a favorite among hobbyists for its impressive size, voracious appetite, and stunning appearance. While generally not suited for handling, they make an excellent display pet. Provide a roomy enclosure with deep substrate for burrowing, moderate humidity, and they’ll thrive.

The Salmon Pink Tarantula is one of the largest tarantula species in the world, known for its impressive size, velvety appearance, and calm demeanor. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this terrestrial species prefers a roomy enclosure with deep substrate for burrowing and a humid environment to mimic its natural habitat. Though they can grow to a leg span of up to 10 inches, Salmon Pinks are generally docile and make a striking display pet for those ready to care for a large arachnid.
