Costa-Rican Zebra Tarantula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Costa-Rican zebra tarantula inhabits most of Costa-Rica. The Costa-Rican zebra tarantula is black with white stripes near the joint. The species from Nicaragua are tan coloured.
Zebra tarantulas are burrowing tarantulas. They live in humid grasslands.
Zebra tarantulas can grow to about 4-5 inches including legspan. They will live up to 20 years. Males however, will live a much shorter life of about 5 years.
The zebra tarantula's diet consists of many insects. In the wild, they will eat insects such as cockroaches. In captivity they will eat crickets with no problem.
