Blondy Woman.

[lardsiny]

what if it escaped n brought its frends i ould book out of there

[CyborgEffects]

How is she now?

[1873blueboy]

you have a healthy looking burgandy there my friend and looking at its long legs and small opisthosoma you may well have a male also. Definately a burgandy though and a beautiful specemin at that.

[hoganbaly]

how much you pay ?

[moocw7889]

is it just me or is her left rear leg a bit small too.

[Jon3800]

Hey man. Nice buy. It looks more like a T.stirmi than a T.blondi to me

[snakebabydoll08]

I had one field collected...died the next day lol. Have 19 others doing fine

[Mantisman630]

How much did a specimen of this size cost you?

[zuffy21]

[butchy907]

If it was male I would say octavious

[clubpengui1n]

[78Bigtank]

New Goliath Bird Eater (T.blondi how much do they go for there asking for a 100 in miami let me know.

[ThePWNKNIGHT]

i saw one of those at an animal expo i went to today

[JensTwn]

In Rick West gallery there is a dark color form witch looks pretty cool

[mechajabo]

how is she so far? I'm looking for a well tempered tarantula. I've had the chance to work with some during my spider research in a lab, but I've never had one as a pet before.

[SpiderKing389]

That is one nice looking T. Blondi! =)

[ahickin]

Alright mate my name is alan I'm from birmingham England i have a female t blondi aswell. Your t blondi looks cool how is she doing

[lordabomity]

Java =)

[DorseyHorsey]

ur lucky u get a lot of T's and I only have 1 pet store and the guy who runs it hates spiders so he nearly never has any bt that is a cool critter u got

[FireGuyX]

T.blondi temperament wise is not that bad. Tarantulas don't like the metal feel of tongs, it's better to use a paint brush they get less defensive.

[tarantulamatt]

what a stunner, in the vid the substrate looked abit dry you need to get the humidity up good they like it a good 80-90 % humidity : D

[projecht65]

@tarantulamatt

hehe its at 99% humidity i just soaked an eco earth brick like 3 hours before and that moss is very moist too. No worries tho it has great ventilation and it should come down to around a constant 85% :)

[tarantulamatt]

@projecht65 thats good must off been the cam, do a update on her when shes settled in : )

[projecht65]

@tarantulamatt

I will record a feeding video tonight of her, hope she cooperates :D I think I will call it "goliath vs goliath" (evil laugh!)

[adamtheape]

@projecht65 thats a really nice t.blondi

[mattmoksnes]

Great new addition man she looks great I want to get a couple of baby T. blondi so that I can watch them grow man I can't wait to go to the reptile expo in October to get myself a couple more Ts oh and I think you should name her melody

[JensTwn]

Looks like a Theraphosa sp. "Burgundy" to me

[projecht65]

@JensTwn

that would be a good thing if it was then right? aren't theraphosa sp. "burgundy" more expensive than t.blondi? other than color there isnt much different about the 2 I dont think.

[JensTwn]

@projecht65 If you see long hairs on patella it will be a T. blondi.

The T. sp "Burgundy" dont have those long hairs on patella and they are also easier to breed and many are sold as T. blondi´s

[projecht65]

@JensTwn

yeah this girl def has the long brownish red hairs on the patella then down the rest of her leg segments :)

[Ratsnake151]

Congratz man well it looks red so how about Rose

[BakersTs]

Beautiful Blondi! She looks freshly molted. Got itchy just watching this vid.
