The Desert Blonde Tarantula is considered a relatively docile creature, and having venom so weak it's harmless to humans, the Desert Blonde Tarantula is hardly anything to fear.
Living as long as 24 years, female tarantulas live twice as long as males. Males mate only once, often dying shortly after, and sometimes at the mercy of the female. Residing in the dry, open areas of the southwest, the Desert Blonde Tarantula is partial to the state of Arizona, as well as Mexico. These spiders burrow 8 to 12 inches into the dessert ground, line it with silk webbing, and call it home. The silk webbing, believe it or not, actually prevents their burrow from caving in.
