Chaetopelma olivaceum (Middle Eastern Gold) is a velvety-black old world species from the arid rocky landscape of the eastern mediterranean. They are notable for their fascinating semi-communal behavior - documented living in large colonies in burial caves and dried wells across it's range, a rare trait among tarantulas. Bold, fast, and unlike anything else in the hobby - a truly unique piece for any serious collection.
