The Brazilian Blonde Tarantula (Nhandu tripepii) is a stunning species native to Brazil. Known for its velvety brown to blonde coloration and robust size, this terrestrial tarantula is a great addition to any collection. While not as defensive as some species, it can be skittish and quick. Adults typically reach 15–18 cm. Females can live 12–15 years with proper care whereas males have a shorter lifespan, usually living 3–5 years after reaching maturity.
