Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula (Grammostola pulchripes) - 0.75" (Sling)

Gold-banded knees, an easy temperament, and a spider that just keeps growing Grammostola pulchripes, the Chaco Golden Knee, is a grassland terrestrial out of Paraguay and Argentina that pairs bold golden banding on every leg joint with one of the calmest dispositions in the hobby. At 1 to 1.5 inches it is still an unassuming juvenile. Give it a few years and it fills out into an eight-inch heavyweight that owns whatever shelf it sits on. This is one of the genuinely great beginner tarantulas: slow-moving, reluctant to kick hair, and forgiving of a keeper still finding the rhythm. It wants a dry terrestrial setup with a hide, a water dish, and enough substrate to scrape out a shallow burrow. Expect a patient grower that rewards steady care over fussing, which is exactly why it sits at Spice 2 in the beginner lane. The care guide has the full build.
