From my research thus far-mostly here, it seems like the following:
Theraphosa
-More defensive
-Can get a little bit bigger on average
-Brown colored
-Urticating bristles are particularly bad (which goes double for the Theraphosa that isn't blondi. Can't remember off hand, but there's only the two.)
-More prone to wandering, and may need a bigger tank vs Lasiodora for similarly sized individuals.
Lasiodora
-Less defensive
-Hardier, and generally less maintenance in captivity
-Black colored
-Stockier(?)
I'm not restricting this to just T.blondi and L.parabyhana. I'm really looking for the difference between these two T's. Yes, this is a "what should I get?" thread (And yes, I know the correct answer is "Both"), but I also noticed while searching that I couldn't find any thread specifically comparing the two genera. So now there is one.
