Venezuelan suntiger
The Venezuelan suntiger (''Psalmopoeus irminia'') is a striking tarantula species from Venezuela and hence considered a New World species. It has hairy legs which are typically dark in color (pronominally black) with a black carapace. Although they do not have urticating hairs which is rare for a new world species. Males are generally a slightly lighter, more faded color than females. The female has a striking coloration with bright orange chevrons on their long legs and a tiger stripe design on its abdomen. It is a large species, regularly reaching lengths of up to 6 inches. It has a medium growth rate and is an arboreal (tree dwelling) species.
It has an semi aggressive temperament (very few tarantulas are fully aggressive as MOST will rather run away than fight or bite) and is quite skittish and unpredictable with considerable speed when it rushes. It is unable to keep up these high speeds for long. It is not recommended to handle this species because of its disposition and also due to the venom which can come in the form of multiple bites. The venom of the P. irminia is quite potent and can have a lot of negative effects such as full body aches, and lightheadedness. However, it is important to note that like all other tarantula species, the venom cannot kill you. If given a choice, it would rather flee.〔http://www.thespiderdiaries.co.uk/content/view/21/2/〕 This species is not recommended for inexperienced owners. But once you have started with arboreal species it can be considered alright, and is still a whole lot less aggressive than other species of arboreal.
It thrives with temperatures of 80/85 °F with 75/80% humidity levels. Being an arboreal species, it requires a tall enclosure. Height is more important than floor space, and often the spider will make use of something to allow it to climb, such as cork bark. It will only require about 2 inches of substrate. It has a tendency to web up the enclosure.〔http://homepage.ntlworld.com/the.tarantula.store/care-P.irminia.htm〕
