The Chilean rose tarantula grows slowly, typically taking about 2 years from juvenile to adult. Its average lifespan is around 12 years, influenced by living environment, diet, and other factors.
The tarantula is sturdy but has a gentle temperament; it dislikes climbing high and will not dig burrows, so during care the owner should provide a hiding cave. Although it is docile, it is still not recommended to handle it with your hands to avoid accidents.
