That being said, at least once I have fed my L. parahybana a small feeder lizard, but it isn’t something I would make a habit of doing and not something I highly suggest trying. I house my spiderling Lasiodora species in a basic terrestrial spiderling enclosure made of acrylic.
Once the sling begins to outgrow its enclosure I move it into on of two types of juvenile acrylic enclosures.
The latter being my preferred final home for the Lasiodora parahybana as it is short enough to not cause a risk from falling if the T crawls up the side of the glass and across the top and long and wide enough for it to have plenty of space while providing ample cross ventilation. This T is known for kicking hair on it webbing around its burrow, so if you are emptying out the substrate while cleaning an enclosure or moving substrate around in the enclosure...you are at risk of kicking up those hairs into the air or coming in direct contact with them. While it’s a bird-eating tarantula, you don’t need to feed it birds to keep it satisfied.About 7 adult crickets per week are enough to keep it filled, and 2 dubia roaches will also do the trick. I still pour some water down the corner enough to keep the lover level of substrate damp while the top remains dry and opt for more side ventilation than top ventilation in this particular setup.For both types of enclosures I am sure to provide a water dish and hide for the birdeaters. This makes it very appealing for new and experienced keepers alike.Not only is this tarantula species very large, but it’s also got a large personality to go along with it! This dark coloration works to contrast the salmon-pink hairs all over its body, giving it a nice subtle pop of color (and yielding it So, this isn’t the largest tarantula ever, and it isn’t the most beautiful, but it’s a perfect mix of the two. And for adults, I feed 8-10 large crickets every week or two, again more or less depending on size of abdomen and appetite and switch it up sometimes with large super worms, green horn worms, or a few large dubia roaches. I tend to use 10 gallon aquariums or an exo terra medium low enclosure that measure 24x18x12. Though this species isn’t particularly defensive, in fact they're pretty docile, they will kick hairs when they feel threatened. That is why anytime I am rehousing or cleaning an old enclosure that use to house and species in the Lasiodora genus I take precautions to protect myself. Maintaining this range is quite simple with a consistently-filled water dish and regular misting of the substrate.It’s recommended that you place a thermometer/hygrometer in your This large tarantula comes with a large appetite, believe it or not! When this enclosure is beginning to get to small and it is time to rehouse them again, I make the jump to a large adult enclosure as its final home. Belle mygale, grande taille étant donné qu'elle peut a It may not have the beautiful coloration of a tarantula like Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens , but it’s definitely got an impressive size!. This gives the sling plenty of room to burrow down and not too much space to climb up and risk injury from a fall. Again, this T is a fast grower, so it may seem a little large at first but within a few molts they seem to fill out the enclosure nicely. Son nom français est Mygale Saumonée. I will feed a few more crickets a week if they are looking underfed or a few less if they appear to be getting chunky. Mygale Lasiodora parahybana (Mello-Leitao, 1917) Famille: Theraphosidae; Sous famille: Theraphosinae; Genre: Lasiodora (Koch, 1850) Espèce: parahybana (Mello-Leitao, 1917) Origine: Brésil; Noms communs: "Brazilian salmon pink", "Brazilian salmon tarantula" * Habitat naturel : Cette espèce se rencontre en forêt humide. One is a 4x4x4 box with top and side ventilation that I use for the slings that seem to have preferred to spend most of their time deep in their burrows. Hier habe ich eine kurze und trockene Diashow mit Bildern von der letzten Haut meiner Lasiodora (Alter des Tieres etwas über ein Jahr) gemacht. This gives the sling the ability to choose the moisture level of substrate it prefers while keeping the humidity level optimal for a sling and providing a layer of dry substrate on the top. The deeper the sling burrows, the more damp the substrate becomes. This is another great staple in the hobby and the Salmon Pink Birdeater is usually widely available and affordable. Therefore, they don’t produce a lot of The fact that it’s almost always out in the open and attacks food aggressively makes it a very fun tarantula to own.One issue that all tarantula owners are likely to run into at one point is molts becoming stuck. This species does possess urticating hairs , like most New World tarantulas, and I find this species hairs to nearly as uncomfortable as the T. blondi or Brachypelma boehmi.

The other style of enclosure I have had a lot of success with is a long but short 4x5x6 acrylic enclosure that I purchased from a local hobby store that has since gone out of business and I have yet to be able to find anywhere to purchase this style of AMAC boxes again. I fill this enclosure up all the way up to the door with substrate and then ramp the substrate up higher towards the back so there is enough depth for the T to burrow. Even when dealing with spiderlings. The first reason being that they have nasty urticating hairs that would be miserable to deal with if they kicked them on you or the even just brushed off onto your skin. 06.09.2013, 18:08 #1. spiderguy3000. The second and probably most important reason is that this T is so large as an adult that if you were to handle it and accidentally dropped it from almost any height, it could be fatal to your T. Even being as steady and careful as possible, tarantulas are prone to suddenly burst in movement for short distances when startled of when they perceive a threat and it isn’t something you would be able to react to fast enough to keep the T safe.
