Buy Tarantula Salmon Pink Birdeater In-Store at Newlands
The Salmon Pink Birdeater -Latin name Lasiodora parahybana - is known as one of the largest species of spider in the world.
Size
With a leg-span of up to 10 inches, the Brazilian salmon pink birdeater is one of the largest tarantulas in the world. And this spider gets big fast: it can grow up to a diameter of six inches in the first year of lif
Lifespan
Salmon pink birdeater has an average life span of 5-25 years. Female tarantulas live significantly longer than male tarantulas do; females live 15-25 years, while males live around 5 years.
Diet
From their name, you might think these tarantulas eat birds and nothing else. But that's not the case! Though they do snack on the occasional small bird, the bulk of their diet consists of various insects and sometimes lizards, frogs and mice.
Unlike many other spiders, tarantulas don't spin webs to catch their prey (though they do produce silk). Instead, they lie and wait until an unsuspecting victim wanders by and then they pounce, immediately injecting their prey with venom to subdue it.
Housing
Salmon Pink Birdeaters are large spiders, so require a similarly good-sized cage. For adults, a tank measuring 18? square should be considered a minimum. A tank measuring 24? long by 15-18? deep is perhaps the ideal size for such a large spider.
Firstly, humidity should be kept in the 70-90% region, typically by regular spraying with a handheld mister. This water will evaporate over time, creating the necessary moist environment. That said, stale, stagnant air is a major issue in captivity, and it is essential that air flow is maintained. In essence your target is high humidity, but good ventilation.
Handling
Salmon Pink Birdeater Tarantula is not known for being aggressive at all. They do have one of the worst of urticating hairs which can induce horrid rashes. They are not quick to bite but if provoked will certainly do so. A full grown Lasiodora parahybana can have fangs up to a full inch in length which can certainly induce some damage should it bite you. In addition they have potent venom which can prompt muscle cramps and pain. Not being able to hold them properly (due to their size) can make the tarantula flick urticating hairs and worse case scenario bite. You also do not want to drop such a large tarantula as it can certainly be fatal.

Buy Tarantula Salmon Pink - Lasiodora parahybana In-Store at Newlands
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.
Housing
For adults, a vivarium measuring 18? square should be considered a minimum. A vivarium measuring 24? long by 15-18? deep is perhaps the ideal size for such a large spider.
Humidity
Firstly, humidity should be kept in the 70-90% region, typically by regular spraying with a handheld mister. This water will evaporate over time, creating the necessary moist environment. That said, stale, stagnant air is a major issue in captivity, and it is essential that air flow is maintained. In essence your target is high humidity, but good ventilation.
Substrate
The terrarium should be furnished with 3"-4" deep substrate (peat moss, vermiculite, Eco Earth or a mixture of each
Handling
When it comes to tarantulas, it is always advised not to handle them unless absolutely necessary, especially when they are as large as Lasiodora Parahybana. However, due to their docile nature – they can be handled with proper treatment. Make sure you don’t agitate them or threaten them in any way otherwise they might get aggressive, and you can be in trouble

- Diet: Carnivore/Insectivore
- Environment: Tropical

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.

These animals are quite docile and being New World tarantulas are very slow. However they do suffer from mood swings from time to time and may become skittish.
