That article was fascinating. Back in the mid to late 90's there was a T dealer who claimed he had the best Goliath birdeaters available. He said the secret to his success with the species was earthworms. According to him earthworms made them grow big strong and healthy. I can't remember his...

Thanks to everyone for your answers. In the end I am still left with the feeling that same size might just be an assumption based on the similar morphology of the 2 species. I’d be curious if I could get a few slings of each species and raise them under standard T blondi conditions while...

Though most of the posts I've read say that blondi and stirmi are identical except for hair on the patellas and a few other none obvious features, a few web pages have indicated that the maximum size of blondi is greater than that of stirmi. One page said that stirmi max out at 10" for blondi...

The Aquarium center in Randallstown is pretty big. It usually carries 5-10 arachnids and a bunch of reptiles, amphibians, fish, feeders, supplies.etc.

She doesn't seem to be as "aware" as my goliath. My goliath will come from the far end of her tank to investigate me moving things around. Sometimes immanis doesn't seem to notice even when I'm moving things around right beside her. I feed them both frozen/thawed pinkie rats, but I have to...

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to be sure that wasn't a sign of her being unhappy.

I think a large part of the digging urge is driven by a quest for darkness. If her burrow is against the glass, you can cover it so that she is in darkness and she will probably stop digging. They probably also dig to find a comfortable temp/humidity.

I got her about a year ago at e-spiderworld. Several years ago I got a male spiderling at my local pet store. Unfortunately I got her as a replacement for him after he matured and died. But I would like to breed her. Every now and then they pop up but you have to act fast on the babies or shell...

:confused: I have a 7" X. immanis female in a 20L tank. I keep the humidity at ~80% and she has a half buried log as a retreat. She stays in her burrow most of the time and only seems to wander when she's hungry. When I feed her she eats her food wherever she catches it. If it's a big meal she...
