Remove ads
Neoholothele incei is a species of tarantula from Trinidad and Venezuela,[1] commonly called the Trinidad olive tarantula. When mature, the species has a leg-span exceeding 5–7.5 cm (2.0–3.0 in). As often the case with tarantulas, the females live longer than males, with the former living up to 7 years compared to the 2 years that males can expect to reach. N. incei is a bird spider and is fossorial.[2] It is commonly kept as a pet as it is easy to breed.[3] Rarely for tarantulas, N. incei is known to live communally and cannibalism is rare except for times of extreme hunger.[2] Like most New World species, the venom of N. incei is considered to be mild and comparable to a bee sting, however no research has confirmed this.[2][4]
This species has a golden carapace and its abdomen is striped.
