This spider does not contain medically significant venom. Although fast and bolty as juveniles, these can grow up to have a 7" legspan and become very "chill" as adults, making it one of the few giant huntsman spiders you can hold. Random die offs are not common at all with this species, they are very hardy compared to other huntsman. It is best to keep this species dry with a water dish, lightly spraying the side of the enclosure one day a week. This is a very rare offering to see in the USA, as many breeders do not have these available. This animal will come with the proper acrylic enclosure set up to prevent any escapes when doing maintenance.</blockquote>
