The females of this species are larger than males and can grow up to 8 inches in leg span. The Brazilian White Knee Tarantula is considered a docile and hardy tarantula which makes them a popular choice among pet tarantula keepers. They require a warm and humid environment with ample hiding spots and a substrate that provides them with enough space to burrow.

Like most tarantulas, they are venomous but not considered to be dangerous to humans, with most bites resulting in mild pain and swelling.
