[2] This tarantula has bright golden rings on its legs and pedipalps, which are evident at segments.

In adults, the carapace is brown in color with some areas showing a greenish hue.

Juveniles and spiderlings (slings) have legs that are pinkish to the metatarsus, which is purple in color.

[5] This spider is mainly fossorial, but juveniles have been observed to oddly be semi arboreal.

When provoked this tarantula will first try to flee, but under persistent provocation it will throw hairs or bite.
