The Pink Zebra Beauty (Eupalaestrus campestratus) is a terrestrial tarantula native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is known for it docile and tolerant temperament and is therefore an attractive pet tarantula. It is brownish black and has yellow striped markings near its "knees", resembling the Chaco Golden Knee, although its maximum leg span of 6 inches makes it significantly smaller. It is slow moving and generally considered hardy in captivity.
