This is Kelsey a Togo Starburst Tarantula from Togo Africa
These tarantulas can reach their full size after about 3 years.
When fully grown, these species can reach leg-spans of up to 5 inches.
These spiders are characterized by their chalky white coloration with mottled black and brown markings.
Notably, these tarantulas have very thick rear legs, leading many to believe that they are baboon spiders, however, they are not in the baboon spider subfamily of Harpactirinae
These specimens are quite fast, defensive and possess potent venom.
As these are old-world species, they do not possess urticating hairs, which further encourages them to bite as a primary defense.
They are an arboreal species, though younger specimens have been noted to burrow during their first few months of life.
