🕷️Introducing the Brazilian Whiteknee – A true hobby staple!🕷️
We mentioned we had some hobby staples, some iconic, and also some rather species in our latest tarantula delivery… So let’s dive a bit deeper and introduce some of them to you over the next few days!
We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most striking and recognisable tarantulas in the hobby: the Brazilian Whiteknee (Acanthoscurria geniculata). Known for its stunning black and white banded legs, robust size, and bold personality, this species has rightfully earned its status as a hobby staple.
We have pictures below of one the well grown on juveniles available in store now, as well as an adult owned by one of the the Grange Team 🥰
Why is the Brazilian Whiteknee a must-have for enthusiasts?
• Striking Appearance: Their vibrant white bands against a glossy black carapace and legs make them an absolute showstopper.
• Beginner-Friendly Temperament: While large and impressive, their generally calm demeanor makes them accessible for those prepared for a bigger tarantula.
• Active and Engaging: Their curious nature provides fascinating observation opportunities, making them a favorite for display.
• Resilient and Hardy: With proper care, these tarantulas thrive in captivity, contributing to their longstanding popularity in the hobby.
Whether you’re a seasoned keeper or looking to expand your collection with a true classic, the Brazilian Whiteknee is a perfect addition to any tarantula enthusiast’s setup.
