It owns both jungles and mountain ranges, with average temperatures of 24°C, and average yearly rainfall of 400mm. Behavior They are semi arboreal, semi terrestrial tarantulas, they're surprisingly docile and calm tarantulas being out on the open for the majority of the time. They own urticating hairs they are not afraid to use, thro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thrixopelma Pruriens
''Thrixopelma pruriens'', known as the Peruvian green velvet tarantula, is a species of tarantula found in Chile and Perú in South America. Though docile, this species is rarely kept as a pet in part due to its tendency to fling urticating hairs with minimal provocation. In 2014, researchers at Yale University Yale University is a private research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Established in 1701 as the Collegiate School, it is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and among the most prestigious in the wo ... identified a toxin called Protoxin-I from the tarantula's venom that shows promise as a new painkiller drug. The toxin reduces activity in an ion channel associated with inflammation and neuropathic pain, making it potentially suitable as a treatment for both normal pain and pathological pain syndromes.

Theraphosidae Genera
Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy spiders of the family Theraphosidae. , 1,040 species have been identified, with 156 genera. The term "tarantula" is usually used to describe members of the family Theraphosidae, although many other members of the same infraorder (Mygalomorphae) are commonly referred to as "tarantulas" or "false tarantulas". Some of the more common species have become popular in the exotic pet trade. Many New World species kept as pets have setae known as urticating hairs that can cause irritation to the skin, and in extreme cases, cause damage to the eyes. Overview Like all arthropods, the tarantula is an invertebrate that relies on an exoskeleton for muscular support.Pomeroy, R. (2014, February 4). Pub.
