    The Brazilian red and white tarantula is a peaceful but skittish species native to Brazil that makes a good pet for beginners. It grows up to 7 cm, lives 10-12 years, and reproduces by the female building a cocoon containing 600-1800 eggs that hatch after 8-12 weeks. It requires a temperature of 22-28°C, 60-80% humidity, and a substrate of jungle bedding or orchid bark with cork tubes and bark pieces for furniture in a 30x30x20 cm terrarium, being fed insects and occasional baby mice.
