You could probably look at the location the species is from. This will tell you which ones are tropical.

Google "Tropical climate". Wikipedia has a pretty good description of it. Not all tarantulas are "tropical", only ones that are from tropical climates are. Tarantulas are found in sub tropical, montane, and temperate regions as well.

If your T comes from the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn it is a Tropical T. Most of the rest are sub tropical with a few in the temperate zones

Yes, however be aware that there are different types of tropical climates that the article mentions. Tropical Rainforest, Tropical Desert, Tropical Savanna, Wet/Dry tropical, Monsoon Tropics, etc.
