Out of stock
The Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula, scientifically known as Grammostola pulchripes, is a magnificent and popular species of tarantula native to the Chaco region of Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Revered for its stunning colouration and docile nature, this tarantula species has become a favorite among both beginners and experienced tarantula keepers. The Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula is named for the distinctive golden bands on its legs, which contrast beautifully with its dark brown to black body. As juveniles, they exhibit a darker overall coloration, gradually transitioning to the golden hue as they mature. The mature females can reach a leg span of 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 cm), while the males tend to be slightly smaller. Grammostola pulchripes are known for their docile nature and are considered one of the more laid-back tarantula species, making them an excellent choice for tarantula enthusiasts seeking a manageable and friendly pet. In their natural habitat, this tarantula inhabits dry grasslands and scrublands. They are terrestrial in nature and create intricate burrows to retreat to when they feel the need for security. These burrows are typically lined with silk and serve as both a safe haven and a hunting ground for the tarantula. They primarily feed on insects, small arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. When housing the Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula, providing a spacious enclosure with plenty of substrate for burrowing is crucial. They require a moderately warm and dry environment, with temperatures ranging from 75 to 85°F (24 to 29°C). It’s important to maintain appropriate humidity levels by lightly misting the enclosure rather than creating a consistently damp environment.

We try to make it as easy as possible to help any unwell critters, and ensure you can get your money back. There are a couple of steps to go through before a refund can be issued.
If you’ve received an unwell animal in the mail:
1. If it is safe to do so, (your pet is not medically significant or harmful) please remove the animal from its transport container, ideally onto your hand. We ask this as invertebrates, particularly insects, are experts at ‘playing dead’.
2. To provide you with the best advice going forward and to confirm the condition of your pet, we kindly request a short video of the animal in question before your refund can be processed. This can be uploaded on our ‘live guarantee refunds form’, or you can email it straight to us.
3. We typically respond within 24 hours, but please allow 1-3 working days for a response. Once it’s confirmed that you are eligible for a refund, we’ll get process the credit to your account.
We’ll need this information to reach us within 7 days after you’ve received your pet. We cannot provide any live guarantee to animals that have been refused, returned, or not collected.
