to brown body color with bronze hair on their body that gives a woolen coat appearance to the

want to interact with their pets. They have an average size of around 6 inches with a lifespan of
four to ten years.

making it an ideal attribute that one looks for in a pet.

 Zebra Spider

The Zebra Spider originates from Costa Rica and has two white stripes on its knees. This spider
species tend to be timid, which makes them difficult to handle. However, their unique
appearance makes them look adorable and the most wanted exotic pet. The ten-gallon tanks
should have some grass and be at temperatures between 75 – 80 Fahrenheit. They are escape
artists when it comes to fleeing the cold temperatures by making burrows. They can live as long
as 20 years.

Red Knee Spider

The red knee spider is native to Mexico and Panama. These spider species have the longest life
span, which is about 30 years. The appealing red color makes it attractive and gives a tropical
appearance. These are the most common species found in pet stores. The red knee spiders are
venomous, which is an identical quality to other tarantula species. They only bite when felt
threatened but are easier to handle.

instincts. It isn’t easy to choose the best spider to be your pet. One can instantly choose if the
spider’s behavior matches the qualities you are looking for in a pet. Make spiders your pet, and
