Product Overview
Also known as the Mexican, red-kneed tarantula, the orange-kneed tarantula is primarily native to Mexico, although they now inhabit many areas in the south-western United States. They are popular as pets due to the fact that they are docile and relatively harmless. Scientific Name: Brachypelma smithi Characteristics: Like most tarantula species, the orange-kneed tarantula has a very long lifespan and can live to be 30 years old. That means you'll have plenty of time to spend with this amazing individually hand-painted and crafted arachnid! Size and Color: Measuring 6 inches long and 5 inches wide, both dimensions of this model are about the same size as the length of a dollar bill. As their name suggests, orange-kneed tarantulas are black with orange patches on the joints of their legs. The Orange-Kneed Tarantula is part of the Incredible Creatures® collection. All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA-free.
