Tarantulas native to Ecuador?

There are apparently quite a few of them running about and of that lot some are rather common pets.

Avicularia Purpurea is the purple pinktoe which only reveals it's coloring under bright light. It's non-aggressive, but doesn't enjoy handling and happens to be rather fast. Females can make it to 12 years of age, while males only live to a fourth of that. Diet runs from flies to small rodents.

Pamphobeteus Insignis has been called the Colombian purple bloom due to males of the species having purple coloration over their body. Females have a large range of colors, but aren't as vivid generally speaking. This is a rather docile species, but they do flick hairs. They are also rather big 7.5 inches is normal. They tend to eat crickets, lizards, and mice.

You also have Theraphosea Blondi and Megaphobema Velvetosoma. The first is better known as the Goliath bird-eating spider and it's the largest specie (12 inches). Extremely aggressive in nature these are not good pets as they tend to bite. Not good considering the size of their fangs. The second is the Ecuadorian brown velvet spider and this isn't really a good beginner pet since they move quickly and can live to 15 years of age. Imagine that escaping into the house... ew.

Hope that helped some.
