Description

Scientific Name: Poecilotheria Ornata

Common Names: Fringed Ornamental | Fringed Ornamental Tarantula

Not for beginners. Poecilotheria ornata has a higher tendency to bite than any other species of the genus. Lightning fast from sling to adult as with most Poecilotheria species, this tarantula will grow large and gorgeous. It’s venom is potent and although not necessarily an aggressive or defensive bird spider, it will gladly deliver a nasty bite if provoked or if given the right reasons. The bites are very painful and can result in hospitalization for a careless or unlucky keeper.
