Bird Eater Tarantulas

hmm

Honestly I am not a Blondi Fan. I've never wanted one. There isnt much to it but a big brown velvety T. Sure it's the biggest T in the world. I like colors multiple colors. But thats just me

I personally settled with an L. parahybana sling for 8 bucks... That was a few months ago, and already i have a 2.5 inch spider. They grow quickly!

 

[Kamikaze]

How about a Lasiodora dificilis? or a Lasiodora klugi?
I think they're awesome too

 

[deathcrew]

I agree L.klugi big,beautiful,t. that you can handle.

lol

if you go in a pet store EVERYTHING is called a bird eater. Why not something bas A$$ like a Brazilian Monkey Eater..

lol thats quite the good marketing ploy you may have concieved there, I opt for a store owner to try somthing like that and see just how quickly it sells, just for giggles of course!

hmm

It could be possible. Maybe one day it will happen. Bird Eater is too common and likely to happen since there are small birds and T's can take down prey way bigger than they are. You never know. only 1/4 of the rain forest has been researched and seen. What's in the other 3/4, the illusive brazilian monkey eater. It could work...

My L. parahybana should be arriving today! I can't wait

If you get a T. blondi you need to be aware that you must maintain a certain amount of humidity for them to live and that they frequently have moulting problems which result in their death. So, you're looking at an expensive T requiring far more care than most that could croak on you. Enough said--go L. parahybana.

I have nhandu's. Theyre refered to as birdeaters and relatively easy to care for.

If you have the money and space, I recommend T. blondi. I can't comment on their size yet though because my female is only 6" right now. If you want something inexpensive you buy a few L. parahybana slings. They are very cheap especially when young and they grow as big 5 inches in the year! I don;t have of own yet, though
