- Comment is this spider often found in sandy habitats? Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Info This spider hides among rotten wood and dry leaves. He is difficultly distinguishable on such background. This tarantula can run across open plots in search of extraction. Speed of run - to 7 km/hour. He loves a hot climate, but prefer a shadow. Poison is similar to poison of a wasp, however a dose much more. Сhelicera (poisonous "teeth") about 5 mm. I took on lease this tarantula from private zoo collections. My son (at the age of 13 years) released it before a lens of my camera. So, it is studio shot --George Chernilevsky talk 20:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- I would disagree about it being a studio shot. In a studio shot, one glance a the picture can tell that the background is unnatural. The background of this is however IMO, deceiving. --Muhammad(talk) 00:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- For animals from a zoo any background is a deceit. Spiders contain in terrariums with a different ground. The coconut shaving, wood sawdust, sand is very often used. My variant shows a contrast background, the animal is well visible. --George Chernilevsky talk 06:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

- Weak Support The sand is ok with me, it gives some contrast. Support is weak as I can't make out the eyes. The caption should be clear about the sand not being natural I think. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
