I"m actually going to buy two maybe three of these of guys (at .5 inches) and I did some research so can anyone who knows about these tarantulas let me know if I have recieved the correct information. And if you have one of these can you just tell me what you like or don't like (i doubt if you dont like anything about it) about it? Please and thank you. (note: all / most of this information is directly from a caresheet I found on the net I copy n pasted the information so I can make sure its ALL correct.)
Here is what I found out:
Common name:Brazilian Salmon Tarantula
Scientific name: Lasiodora parahybana
-One of the largest tarantula species in the world
-active
-Its able to reach 6 inches in one year
-Good eater
-Do not burrow or make large webs
-orgin: Brazil
-Diet Spiderlings eat pinhead crickets, and other small insects. Adults eat crickets, other large insects, small lizards, pinkie mice, and an occasional fuzzy mouse.
-Humidity 78 to 82%. All tarantulas that have at least a 3" legspan may drink from a shallow, wide water dish.
-Temperament Semi-aggressive and active.
-Housing Spiderlings can live in a clear plastic deli-container with air holes. Adults can live in a 10 to 20-gallon tank. Floor space is more important than height.
-Substrate 3 to 5 inches of peat moss, or potting soil.
