Rangoon Mustard
Chilobrachys sericeus |
This is the most aggressive
tarantula I ever owned. I consider this to be the
Pit Bull of tarantulas. It would frequently throw
itself against the side of its tank when it
detected my presence and made a very distinct
hissing noise (hence I gave it the name of Hissing
Sid). Should most definitely NOT be handled.
Not for the beginner! |

Cobalt Blue
Haplopelma lividus |
My own specimen of this tarantula
(Lightning) is very fast, not exactly
aggressive, but I have more that a little respect
for her. Not for the faint hearted as it can be a
bit of an escapologist. |
