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

The Giant African Mantis is native to West Africa and its usual range is just south of the Sahara desert in grasslands and woodland habitats
Size
Giant African Mantis vary in size depending on sex. Females often grow much larger, reaching sizes of 8-10 cm while the males remain slightly smaller ranging between 6-8 cm long.
Diet
Giant African Mantis will readily accept crickets, cockroaches, moths and other small prey items as babies. Once they mature and reach adult size you can feed your Giant African Mantis larger prey items such as locusts.
Enclosure
As a general rule for most praying mantis, you should be looking for a container which is at least 3 times the length, width and height of your pet mantis' length. So for the Giant African Mantis you are looking at an enclosure which should be 10x10x10 inches, however it is recommended to use a 12x12x12 inch container or a 2.5 gallon tank to give slightly more hunting ground.
Lifespan
The giant Asian mantis will live for 3-6 months of kept at a warmer temperature and will live for 6-9 months if kept at room temperature.
Temperature
The daytime temperatures should be maintained between 77-86F and allowing night time temperatures to drop to between 70-75F. It is useful to note that high temperatures speed up the metabolism of your pet mantis and thus shorten their life span, while lower temperatures slow their metabolism down and thus length their life span. Subjecting your African Giant Mantis to extremely low or high temperatures can result in an early death.
Humidity
Although Giant African Mantis are more tolerant to varying levels of humidity compared to other species of mantis, they do ideally require humidity to be maintained at a moderate level of between 50% - 70%. We recommend Aiming for 60% relative humidity which can usually be achieved by lightly misting one wall of the enclosure daily. Not only will this help keep humidity at the desired levels, but will also offer a water source which your Giant African Mantis can drink from.
Heat and Light
The most appropriate way to heat your Giant African Mantis' enclosure is using a heat mat placed under 1/4 - 1/3 of their vivarium. This will help boost temperatures from below without providing an over powering basking spot which can cause your Giant African Mantis to overheat.
Substrate
As with most mantis species, the Giant African Mantis will benefit from a suitable substrate. Not only will it make their vivarium appear more realistic but will also help maintain the high humidity levels needed. The most readily available substrate is soil or peat, however we also recommend using a layer of compressed coconut fibre which is guaranteed to be clean and free from pesticides or parasites.
Enviroment
Provide several climbing areas and a suitable places to moult, such as branches, logs and real/fake plants to help make their vivavium more natural. This species prefers dense foliage for climbing hiding

Dead leaf mantis is a common name given to various species of praying mantis that mimic dead leaves.
This species of praying mantis is always brown, but the shade of brown may vary between individuals. Their brown color is not solid all over, but it has dark and light spots to mimic a dead leaf.
Size
Adult females are about 65mm to 70mm in length while adult males are about 45mm in length.
Lifespan
Praying Mantids will usually live from spring to fall. The longest a Mantis will live is around 1 year.
Diet
Start out with fruit flies for nymphs and move to pinhead crickets for larger nymphs and crickets, mealworms, wax worms, and other larger insects for sub-adult and adults.
Housing
- Their cage should be well ventilated with lots of twigs and leaves for the mantis to perch on.
- They don't require much room as they are not active predators, but they do need room to molt. The suggested width and height is usually 3x the length of the mantis.
It's best to keep these at around 24-30 C (75-86 F). A heat mat or heat lamp is may be used to maintain the desired temperature.
Keep humidity at a constant 70-80%.
Handling
For such an aggressive hunter, mantis can be strangely docile with their owners. A further benefit of praying mantis as pets therefore is that they can generally be handled quite safely. In general, a praying mantis will happily walk from hand to hand
