This t is also very fast as slings and prone to quickly bolting and erratically running around the enclosure when disturbed, so i am sure to give them an enclosure that provides enough room to move around so they don’t dash out of their enclosure anytime I open the lid. Adults can eat over a dozen adult crickets per week or several adult dubia roaches. I put cross ventilation holes on the sides of the enclosure, start with a layer of clay balls, then mesh, and then the same substrate as the previous enclosure. The T blondi is widely said to be the largest spider in the world, when in fact that title probably belongs to the Heteropoda maxima (Giant Huntsman Spider) if you are going by the leg span.

I have not received a threat pose from a spiderling so far, but I cannot express enough how quickly they can bolt and it will undoubtedly catch you off guard every time if you are not prepared.

For this type of enclosure i take a display case for something like a football and put ventilation holes on two sides of the enclosure. The blondi has setae on the patella and the bottom side of the femura while the stirmi does not and the apophysis has much more setae which can be seen the most obviously on the bottom side of the legs. If the female molts between pairing and cocoon, the eggs will remain unfertilized.• Make sure the female is well-fed (not obese) before you introduce the male. * Because of the fact the spider’s abdomen can become very large, every fall can be fatal. However, it's certainly a treat when it comes out to hunt or explore.Let's analyze where this tarantula is originally from to better understand what they need environmentally. Am in the UK. If anyone has or does own an adult Theraphosa stirmi could u guys gimme some help? This is very important form the moment you’d like to start breeding.• Chelicerae and fangs are relatively “short”. Theraphosa blondi (manchmal auch im Deutschen Riesenvogelspinne oder Goliath-Vogelspinne genannt) gilt mit bis zu zwölf Zentimeter Körperlänge und einer Beinspannlänge von bis zu 30 Zentimeter laut dem Guinness-Buch der Rekorde als die größte Vogelspinne überhaupt.

I break down what kind of enclosure I use, how often I feed, and what temperatures and humidity you need for these tarantulas. Fully grown adult specimens reach about 10 to 11 inches in legspan, making them an absolute unit of a tarantula.is known as a relatively docile and skittish species.

Theraphosa blondi, also known commonly as the Goliath Birdeater, was originally described by Pierre Andre Latrelle in 1804. [2] Cléton, F., Sigwalt, Y., and Verdez J-M. (2015). In captivity, temperature parameters for maintenance are often less stringent than for breeding, but probably best not to stray too far from these guidelines for optimal health.
