Are Skeleton tarantulas docile?
I found one I love but I need to know how they behave, what they do... I can't find any information on them and its frustrating! These are beautiful spiders, interesting and different. I already know they have their urticating hairs on their pedipalps but that's all. I just need to know what kind of environment they need and what their temperament is.

Generally speaking, no. "Skeleton" tarantulas(Ephobopus sp.)are nervous and high-strung, and if they cannot run away, will not hesitate to turn around and rear up in a threat display. They like a slightly humid environment, moreso than the typical desert tarantula, but not as humid as most Avicularia do, and they also like to burrow. This is a great species if you just want a tarantula to look at, since they are attractive, but not one that I'd recommend for handling.
Do you propose terrestrial or actual burrowing tarantulas? the only burrowing species that i will think of of, it particularly is likewise extremely docile is Eupalaestrus campestratus - the crimson Zebra attractiveness. different sturdy newbie terrestrial sp are: Curlyhair, Brazilian Black, Mexican Redrump, Chile Gold Burst and that i've got additionally chanced on Euathlus sp. "Blue" to be particularly docile. actuality is very nearly all docile tarantulas are sluggish growing to be and you like a properly common species which would be uncomplicated to preserve.
