The Theraphosa blondi (Goliath birdeater) is the largest spider in the world by mass and body size. For hobbyists keeping tarantulas, it is considered a legendary but demanding species.
Here is a quick, easy, and scannable breakdown of what hobbyists need to know:
🕸️ Quick Overview
• Skill Level: Advanced (Not recommended for beginners due to their specific moisture needs and defensive nature).
• Temperament: Skittish and defensive. They do not like being handled and will easily flick irritating hairs (urticating hairs) or strike.
• Lifespan: Females can live up to 15 to 25 years, while males only live 3 to 6 years.
📦 Husbandry Requirements
• Enclosure Size: Large and wide (terrestrial setup). They need plenty of floor space rather than height, as falls can be fatal for heavy spiders.
• Substrate: Deep, damp soil or coco fiber (at least 4–6 inches) to allow them to burrow and to help maintain humidity.
• Humidity: Extremely High (80%–90%). The soil must stay consistently damp, and they need a large, clean water dish. Good ventilation is critical to prevent mold.
