Actually the largest tarantula in the world known to mankind at this time is The goliath birdeater tarantula of South America. They get as large as 1 foot across, with fangs reaching to a horrifying 1 1/2 inches. They originate in South America, but are being found in other areas. You can google it, and see for yourself.
@whiteyr44 Ive seen one that's even bigger. Only this one's got an intense red carapace than your average rose hair. But this one's not captive born. Its a wild type.
@whiteyr44 Did your Cameroon Baboon molted already?? :D Am pretty sure she already did right?? Nice & healthy looking specimens you got right there bud :D I would really wanna get a Hercules Baboon someday. Are both Cameroon & Hercules baboon similar in size when fully grown?? Nice Video BTW bud :D I just subscribed :D
@jerumd Hey man, yea this vid was shot before she molted, just a later upload... the cameroon handling vid was a few days after the molt.
H.Baboon are likely not actually in the hobby, most who are claiming to sell real hercules are 100 percent fakes... They can get 9-10" but no one knows for sure, the large "hercules" you see are just oversized Cameroon Baboon's, which can get to a decent 7"... I am a HUGE baboon spider fan, I have an OBT, CB, King Baboon and 2 K.Baboons.....
@whiteyr44 ... If I could get my hands on a real Hercules I would believe me, they are supposed to have a HUGE domed carapace.
No one can export them from Nigeria because the land is owned by drug lords, armed men with guns are the reason we havent got them in the hobby... In captivity the original H.Hercules type is so busted up that no one can tell what they have got.
Sad story to be fair, who wouldnt want a goliath sized baboon spider....
@whiteyr44 Same here bud :D I am also a huge baboon tarantula fan :D Do you have any idea where i can purchase a real Hercules baboon online :D Tanks for replying bud :D
@jerumd I don't think you can to be honest, I know some german dealers claimed to have them...
As I said the original type is so badly messed up in captivity that no one can tell what sub sp. of Hysterocrates they have anymore, only adult's can be an indicator..
H.Hercules are from upper Niger where no one can get in to export them.... but even then the original type may be too far gone, I know a museum has a preserved specimen.
its common to find big tarantulas roaming around in Chile?

@sylverstarduster Where am I claiming this is the largest Tarantula?
I have owned a 10.5" female Goliath Birdeater in the past...
The title correctly reads "Largest Chilean Rose Tarantula"
