Species Theraphosa blondi

[leo3375]

Man despite the hairs, why shouldn't blondis not be handled ?? is it venomous ? whats the leg span ???

man the fangs on that must be huge !!!!

From what I've read, T. blondi has an attitude to match its size. As a species, it's very ill-tempered, and will readily kick very itchy utricating hairs if its hissing doen't deter you. All I can tell you is that you don't want to find yourself at the pointy end of its 1" fangs.

I don't have a T. blondi, nor do I plan on acquiring one. Too high-maintenance and too pissy for me.

Hey everybody,

This is my T. blondi that I got a while ago from Swifts. The first pic is of when I got her, the second pic is when she first molted and the last picture is the second molt she's had since I've had her.

This is the first time that I have ever been able to get pics of a molting tarantula.

[andy83]

I'm hoping it's a female but a male would be loved just the same.

Just look how messey my t blondi is, the rest of my T's dump the corpses outside their borrows, but she dont, after i fed her 8 crickets last night, rest assured there was gonna be some mess for me, so i had to move her into a temp container while i did a spot of cleaning for her ;P, you can just about make out the cricket corpses ummmmm yummy!!

 

[Zorack]

the pics should be the other way round, sorry for the confusion :wall:

 

[Zorack]

messy init

 

[BlkCat]

Some Ts just (like ppl) think that someone else should clean up thier mess.
She never eats all the crix?
Why feed her so much?

 

[Zorack]

she did eat all the crics, just left bits of head and legs about the place

 

[BlkCat]

eww, i see what u mean now. She is a picky thing.

 

[Zorack]

well she did have alot of crics mashed together, must of took her all night to eat, lol

 

[gustavowright]

Mine is just like yours....eating machine..but on the other hand mess less than yours do...luckly.
