Acanthoscurria chacoana, also known as the Bolivian red rump tarantula, is a fast growing, docile tarantula found in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina.
[2] It is commonly kept as a pet, preferring 70–80% humidity and a horizontally large enclosure, as it is terrestrial.
This species of spider does create burrows and is a reddish-brown with tan stripes on its legs.
[3] Female tarantulas of this species can live up to 20 years, while males tend to only live 3–4.
[3] Specimens of A. chacoana can get up to 7.5 in (190 mm) as adults, but the males tend to be much smaller than the females.
