I’m Bella!
I'm a tarantula from South America! 'Bella' means ‘beautiful’ in Spanish.

I love hair & beauty.
As they grow, a Chilean rose tarantula will shed their hair and moult their skin.
I also like digging in the dirt.
They are ground-dwelling, burrowing spiders.

I’m calm & friendly.
Chilean rose tarantulas are generally quiet and calm animals.
I can get annoyed easily.
These spiders have small hairs covering their body which they can throw in defence. These cause itchiness and redness. Chilean rose tarantulas feed on a variety of invertebrates as well as small vertebrates like mice, frogs and lizards.
