The Featherleg Baboon Tarantula, known scientifically as Stromatopelma calceatum, grows into beautiful hues of gold and green, but where they are from they absolutely vanish. Here we have a young juvenile that has grown into its gold tones, but not yet into her green. As you can see in these pictures, she works that into her background so well that she is a master of stealth.[ATTACH=full]77350[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]77351[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
