My name is:  Matilda - 

I am a Mexican Red Knee tarantula 

My scientific name is Brachypelma hamorii

I originally come from Mexico

I am quite friendly but sometimes if I get a bit nervous I might flick off a few of my irritating hairs. I am mildly venomous like a bee. I prefer to be watched, rather than handled.

I eat crickets, cockroaches and other bugs.
