Feeding Your Brazilian Giant Salmon Birdeater Tarantula

Schultz (1998) states "The largest giant tarantulas (e.g. Lasiodors parahybana, L klugi and Theraphosa blondi) require an unexpected amount of food compared to other more conventional tarantulas. One enthusiast feeds his collection three subadult mice a week; these tarantulas are definitely not for the rank amateur, the faint of heart, or a person of limited income." The staple diet in captivity is the (Acheta domestica, Orthopotera Gryllidae) or domestic house crickets; an adult Lasiodora parahybana can consume several in one sitting, this can be supplemented with pinkie mice once or twice a month. Most collectors, however, do not recommend supplementing with mice. Many collectors prefer to feed roaches to their tarantulas, especially those as large as the L. parahybana. They are easily more filling than a cricket.

Caging Requirements for Your Brazilian Giant Salmon Birdeater Tarantula

These arachnids can be kept quite easily in a terrarium that measures at three times its leg span in length but not too high as a fall can kill this tarantula due to its size. The terrarium should be furnished with a deep substrate (peat moss or vermiculite are the most popular in the hobby today) and a water dish. Isopods kept live in the substrate help with mold as they've been known to eat it, as well as feeder remains.  

Humidity: The tarantula loves a humid environment, thriving at relative humidities of between 65-80%. However the keeper should be aware that mold can form at very high humudities, so good ventilation (especially cross ventilation) is crucial.

Temperatures: They should be kept at temperatures of around 75 to 85°F.
