Thanks!... yup i realise its not t blondi
it looks like L parhybana... just wanna check with you because i know T blondi need higher humidly and temperature does L parhybana too? I might need to change everything!
the enclosure is not too tall but i would recommend something else lets see @EulersK can help you out he is a lot more experiencedThanks!... yup i realise its not t blondi
Thank a lot man! really appreciate!
Thank a lot for your explanations ... really appreciate and will follow it! But the dealer is actually a Friend of mine (he helping his Friend to sell) maybe he unsure about tarantula. Anyway I will still do my best to raise this beautiful creature up haha..You're not going to like what I have to say
1) Yeah, definitely not a T. blondi, and likely not a Theraphosa at all. It does indeed look like an L. parahybana, but identifying a spider from a picture is often difficult. You should actually be hoping for an LP simply because they're bounds easier to keep than any Theraphosa while still keeping the impressive size. In terms of humidity, just overflow the water dish and allow the substrate to dry out completely before overflowing again. That is all.
2) The enclosure will have to go. ExoTerra's aren't great because there's no way for you to raise the substrate due to the doors. I'd try to return it if at all possible - a heavy spider taking a fall like that would be bad news. Not my most exciting video, but here is a guide on how to set up terrestrial enclosures. Remember: no heat mats! If the temperatures are staying above 65F, then you're perfectly fine.
3) Moss is pretty, but I wouldn't have it on every square inch of the enclosure. Just stick it off into the corner if you want some. The point of moss is to help hold moisture, which you just don't need with this species. It can't be comfortable for them to walk on, either.
4) Speaking of... it's a species, not a breed. Dogs have breeds because they're all the same species. A T. blondi and a L. parahybana are literally different animals and therefore different species.
5) How much did you pay for this, if I may ask? If you paid a T. blondi price, you'd better believe I'd be going down to that dealer and throwing a fit. I may not be able to tell you the actual species, but it's certainly not a T. blondi. If you paid much more than $75, then you got ripped off pretty hard.
Thanks for your concern I Guess I will need to find another tank for her/himThat definitely appears to be L. Parahybana. They reach an impressive size and grow fairly quickly. As stated, they don't need much humidity and climbing a terrarium like the one you have it in could potentially be fatal if the tarantula were to fall. EulersK pretty much gave a complete rundown of care requirements. I agree with everything he stated. I would definitely take his advice. Let us know how it turns out!
I even diy the TOP cover to prevent any accidents. I Guess i need change the whole tank after all haha.That definitely appears to be L. Parahybana.

Buy one without considering height at all, they don't need that, 20/25 cm are more than enough, considering substrate. What's important is the floor space.

I only put a little moss in each of my enclosures but don't use it to hold moisture. Is it actually uncomfortable for the T to walk on? I am wondering if I need to remove mine. I mainly use it to add a few extra web points.You're not going to like what I have to say

It will be OK.
. There are lots of good folks here on AB that will help guide you in any way they can to ensure your T is as safe and healthy as it could possibly be. No question is a dumb question. You learn either way!
I have had moss in my E.campestratus' enclosure. She is not a big webber, but she webbed it straight over, and never sits or walks on it.
Yes, but this is neither an arboreal nor a juvenile.
Assuming it was an honest mistake, the reasonable thing for the seller to do would be to refund the difference in price between Theraphosa blondi (what he sold it as) and Lasiodora parahybana (what you actually got).
Alright I will
