We know how this species looks, which is precisely why we own and sell them. This species looks as if an orangutan were a tarantula, and their relaxed demeanor makes them an incredible New World species. The only issue with them is that they are a pretty significant size (around 7+ inches) and are covered in hair, which means they will love to throw them if you upset them. It is a must-have if you like a weird-looking tarantula that gets sizable and is often visible walking around its enclosure.

What’s the ideal diet for a Brazilian Giant Blonde Tarantula? 

All Tarantulas can eat a variety of feeders. Stick to crickets, dubia roaches, silkworms, horned worms occasionally, and a superworm or mealworm as the occasional treat!

How should I keep a Brazilian Giant Blonde Tarantula?

For this particular creature, you can start with a small Terrestrial Terrain enclosure if under a ¼” - 1.2” spiderling (sling), and when they get to be about 1” in size, you will want to upgrade to the medium or large Terrestrial Terrain enclosure. Feed them as slings once a week, twice if their opisthosoma (abdomen) looks small, but if the opisthosoma is wider than their prosoma (cephalothorax), then wait a couple of days to feed. For juveniles or adults, stick to feeding once a week, nothing larger than their opisthosoma. Make sure to keep a full water dish at all times; wider and deeper is fine. Your tarantula can’t drown; they float on water.

How long could a Brazilian Giant Blonde Tarantula live?

Believed to live around 10+ years for females, and males living between 4-5 years maximum. All estimates are based on multiple sources.
