Anyone else glad they're not fighting through crowds of people at NARBC this weekend? I decided to spend this weekend filming the fastest and most venomous tarantulas in the Tarantula Collective. This is my Stromatopelma calceatum, aka Feather Leg Baboon Tarantula.
It is infamous for its extreme speed, defensive temperament, and highly potent venom. With a striking cryptic pattern that provides natural camouflage and dense leg feathering, this species is one of the most advanced tarantulas to keep and is strictly recommended for experienced keepers only.
