Panama Gold (Neischnocolus panamanus)
Neischnocolus panamanus
The Neischnocolus panamanus (formerly Ami sp. Panama), known as 'Panama Gold Tarantula'. It is an extremely sought-after Neotropical 'dwarf tarantula', which does not exceed 2-2.7 inches legspan. It takes its name from its sparkling gold color: the entire body is covered with a golden yellow or bright bronze fluff, which makes it look like a small shining jewel in the terrarium. Docile, expert weaver and also suitable for small enclosures, it is one of the most fascinating dwarf tarantulas for beginners looking for a beautiful and peaceful species, albeit equipped with weak urticating hairs.
