Species Theraphosa blondi

wow i cant wait tilll mine gets that big nice T

Have you ever fed her a Hopper before? I fed my H.Albostriatum a hopper once and it was pretty nasty. In about 24 ours the hopper was just a Flesh ball with a tail........ yuck. Nice T blondi :drool:

Thanks for the compliments. I think she looks like brown suede, and her color is more uniform than most blondis I've seen. She's blushing right now To reply to a couple of your questions, yes, it was a live hopper. She gets one a week when she's feeding. She kills them instantly and actually finishes them pretty fast and just leaves the skull, so not too messy or smelly. I'm sure she could handle full or close to full-grown mice but I don't want her to be injured. I'll occasionally give her roaches to vary the diet but I hate those things :evil: She's molted twice in the 13 months I've had her, about 10 or 11 months apart.

Nice blondi. Mine is also 7" maybe 7.5" but she is in premolt right now so hopefully she grows alot. I also feed mine live hoppers.

Fonging HI-LARIOUS!!!

Oh, and nice pics. I'm glad you're bigger than her, too.

That is one gorgeous Blondi!

I hate to be the 4th person saying this, but she is an absolutely fabulous looking blondi !!!

Here are a few shots of Deborah Hairy at dinner time last week. They're poor cause the lighting was terrible and the glass is dirty (and I'm not much of a photographer). Anyway, she's my girl

that spider is kinda big.... how old is it?

 

[BigBadConrad]

I got her about 14 months ago. She was about 6" then and has molted twice, so probably about 7-7.5" now.

BBC what do you keep your temp and humidity for your T. blondi at? does she burrow into the substrate?
mine is about 5 to 5.5 and is a 30 gallon long , humidity iss around 60% and 75 to 80 deg temp

Hi. How do you get a T Blondi or really any other T off you and back into their enclosure without aggravating it?

 

[Washout]

Every time I open my blondis container I get at least a few hairs on me, and they usually stick around for a few days itching like crazy.

I really want to get a blondi but I kept reading that they have to most worst urticating hair of all. I have a sensitive skin.

Don't touch it and you'll be fine. Also make sure to avoid sticking your hand in the cage (use tongs) so you won't come into contact with the hairs. You can take precautions and should have no problems.

I rarely handle my Ts , one time I itch so bad woke me up in the middle of the night like 3am I had to take a shower just to rid of it, aargh!
