- Chaco golden knee tarantula at a glance
-
The Chaco golden knee tends to be one of the more docile and
calm species of tarantula, and therefore often makes a good first
pet. It also likes to burrow; they tend to burrow while younger and
adopt a pre-existing hide as its home when it begins to
mature.
They can have a leg span of 8 inches or more, and are originally
from South America.
They like to live in hot temperatures with a lot of humidity and
tend to dine on crickets, mealworms, cockroaches and even
mice.

Lodi resident Lola Luvianos glanced skeptically at the cockroach
sitting in the palm of Clark Pest Control's Patty Smith.
Luvianos, 2, did not seem to care that Smith was reassuring her
the insect would not bite or that it was a vegetarian. Luvianos saw
one thing and one thing only: a huge, brown bug.
