Lasiodora Parahybana is one of the most unique tarantula species out there. They originate from tropical areas of North-Eastern Brazil. What makes them so special is the fact that they�re one of the largest tarantula species in the world. Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater is a very popular tarantula in the world of exotic pet keepers. Apart from its unique appearance, it�s also very docile and easy to breed tarantula � making it an ideal choice for pet keepers. Size It�s known to grow up to 10 inches in leg span, which is almost double the size of most normal tarantulas. It�s a very rapid grower, so make sure you feed it a lot. Usually, they reach maturity after about 2-3 years, growing up to an average of 6-7 inch in size. Over the years, they can and will grow even larger than that. Lifespan Most are known to live up to 15 years of life. Diet Lasiodora Parahybana is a carnivorous tarantula species, so they require a lot of meat to grow properly. To meet their predatory nature, make sure you give them a lot of live food, as they like to hunt in their natural habitats. It�s a good idea to have those insects gut-fed and filled with vitamins & minerals before introducing them to your tarantula. Ideally, you want to give them 2 insects per week to keep them satisfied. They will usually eat anything you give them so don�t be afraid of overfeeding them. The only time they stop eating is prior to their molting period, where they fast for a few days or weeks until they molt. Salmon Pink tarantulas should have access to fresh water at all times. A shallow water bowl can be used � as sold for small rodents � which is then cleaned and refilled regularly to ensure a constant supply.

Tarantula Goliath Bird Eating

Quick Overview - Latin Name: Theraphosa stirmi
- Ease of Care: Intermediate
- Behaviour: Nocturnal
- Breeding: Wild Caught
- Diet: Carnivore/Insectivore
- Environment: Tropical
- Country of Origin: South America The Goliath Bird Eating tarantula lives in the tropical forests of South America. They are the largest species of tarantula in the world with a leg span of ten to twelve inches. The spider is very large and stocky with a hairy, coffee-colored body. They can live up to twenty-five years These spiders are very large and very aggressive. Only experienced collectors should keep these spiders as pets. Due to their aggressive nature, they should not be handled. Diet Gut-loaded crickets and grasshoppers will make up much of its diet. Mice should also be provided a couple of times a month. A shallow water dish should be provided at all times, and the bowl should be thoroughly cleaned, and the water changed, on a regular basis to keep it hygienic. It is not unusual to find this species drinking from their bowl. Housing Because of its size, a thirty gallon tank with a locking screen top is needed for the tarantula�s habitat. A large shelter for hiding should be provided. Four to six inches of bed-a-beast or Eco earth substrate should be line the bottom of the tank. A small water dish should be supplied. Light and Temperature Goliath Birdeaters like a warm, tropical environment in captivity, which means that the tank should be heated artificially to around 25-28�C. As with all tarantulas, however, this heat not not be provided uniformly across the cage, but instead a range of temperatures should be available. In this way your spider will be able to seek out the temperature that suits them best within the tank. Providing a temperature gradient like this needn�t be difficult. All you need to do is heat one area of the tank directly, but leave the other unheated. Humidity Theraphosa blondi comes from humid, moist rainforests, so a high level of humidity is recommended for this species. This should be provided by regular misting of the cage using a houseplant spray gun. Please note: We don't ship live animals. They are click and collect only! €214.99

Tarantula Pumpkin Patch - Spiderling

Buy Tarantula Pumpkin Patch - Spiderling In-Store at Newlands

The Pumpkin Patch is a small terrestrial tarantula that has been gaining popularity in the hobby for many reasons. Including its quick growth, voracious feeding habits, striking colors (even as slings), extensive webbing, and its display factor. Size They come to us from the pacific coast of Colombia where there are two morphs of this species named Groot/Large and Small/Klein. The Groot/Large species will grow to be about 3 to 4 inches while the Small/Klein species will grow to be about 2 to 2.5 inches in length. Lifespan The average life span for these also varies with most females living to be about 8 to 10 years while males have been known to mature within 2 to 3 years Diet As slings you can feed them flightless fruit flies as well as small crushed up crickets. As they get older you can keep them on a steady diet of pinhead crickets and any type of roaches. The Pumpkin Patch Tarantula can also eat mealworms and superworms with ease. Make sure that you do remove any sort of prey that does that get eaten within 24 hours. Housing There is not much room needed for these little guys. As spiderlings you should be able to easily keep them in small vials and later on in deli cups. As full adults they would only need at most a gallon sized critter keeper. Substrate They are known burrowers and an ample amount of damp substrate would suffice. We recommend you use coconut fiber but simple damp soil would do the trick just fine. A piece of bark or wood would make a great initial hide as they try to burrow. This species is known for being a very heavy webber and you can count on it webbing the entire enclosure once it feels at home. Temperature Temperatures should be kept at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity of about 70%. We recommend you keep one side of the enclosure dry and the other side damp. Handling The Pumpkin Patch Tarantula is a great beginner tarantula it is very calm and they rarely strike a threat pose or flick hairs. They tend to make a quick dash once disturbed instead of being defensive. If bitten their venom tends to be very weak and should not cause much discomfort, if you are allergic however please seek medical treatment. Please note: We don't ship live animals.
