Bold, beautiful, and built for display, the Brazilian White Knee is a favourite among tarantula enthusiasts for its impressive size and high-contrast markings. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, Acanthoscurria geniculata sports a striking black body adorned with bright white bands on its legs, growing large and bulky with ease. Known for its hearty appetite and active nature, this species is a joy to observe and thrives with proper care. While it can be defensive if provoked, its bold presence and straightforward husbandry make it a fantastic choice for intermediate to experienced keepers looking for a true showstopper.
