Orange - Kneed Tarantula Spider Figure - Hand Painted & Collectible Toy - Safari Ltd 542006

Also known as the Mexican red-kneed tarantula, the orange-kneed tarantula is primarily native to Mexico, although they now inhabit many areas in the south-western United States. They are popular as pets due to the fact that they are docile and relatively harmless.

Scientific Name: Brachypelma smithi

Characteristics: Like most tarantula species, the orange-kneed tarantula has a very long lifespan, and can live to be 30 years old. That means you'll have plenty of time to spend with this amazing individually hand-painted and crafted arachnid! 

Size and Color: Measuring 6 inches long and 5 inches wide, both dimensions of this model are about the same size as the length of a dollar bill. As their name suggests, orange-kneed tarantulas are black with orange patches on the joints of their legs. The Orange-Kneed Tarantula is part of the Incredible Creatures collection. 

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
