Psalmopoeus cambridgei, known as the Trinidad Chevron, is unique for its striking coloration, featuring a vibrant greenish hue with chevron patterns on its abdomen. Unlike many New World tarantulas, it lacks urticating hairs, relying instead on its speed and agility for defense. Its arboreal nature means it thrives in vertical environments, often constructing intricate web tunnels in tree hollows. This species is also known for its rapid growth rate, making it a fascinating specimen for intermediate keepers.
