The Fort Hall Baboon Tarantula is an Old World fossorial species known for its speed, reactivity, and unique silvery-grey coloration. Native to arid regions of Africa, this tarantula prefers a deep substrate for burrowing and low humidity environments. Though not recommended for handling due to its defensive nature and potent venom, it is an exciting display species for advanced keepers.
At 1.5", this juvenile is feeding aggressively and exhibiting strong burrowing behavior—an excellent addition for anyone experienced with Old World species.
