Technical Data Sheet: Lasiodora parahybana<\/em><\/h2>\n

General Information<\/h2>\n

Scientific name:<\/strong> Lasiodora parahybana<\/em>
\nCommon name:<\/strong> Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater
\nFamily:<\/strong> Theraphosidae
\nOrigin:<\/strong> Brazil (Para\u00edba and surrounding regions in northeastern Brazil)
\nNatural habitat:<\/strong> Tropical forests, scrubland and areas with deep soil where it can dig burrows.<\/p>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

Lasiodora parahybana<\/em> is one of the largest tarantula species commonly kept in captivity. It is known for its rapid growth, impressive adult size and dark brown coloration covered with numerous pinkish or salmon-colored hairs, particularly noticeable on the legs and abdomen.<\/p>\n

It is a popular species among keepers with some previous experience due to its robust nature and ability to thrive when maintained under suitable conditions.<\/p>\n

Size<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Leg span:<\/strong> approximately 20\u201325 cm in adult specimens.<\/li>\n
  • Body length:<\/strong> approximately 8\u201310 cm.<\/li>\n
  • Lifespan:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Females: up to 15\u201320 years.<\/li>\n
    • Males: generally around 4\u20136 years after reaching maturity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Behaviour<\/h2>\n

      This is primarily a terrestrial and burrowing species. As it develops, it may create shelters beneath pieces of wood or other structures or excavate its own burrows in the substrate.<\/p>\n

      Although it is generally calm when undisturbed, it may become defensive if it feels threatened. Its primary defensive mechanism is the release of urticating hairs from the abdomen, while it may also adopt a threat posture if further disturbed.<\/p>\n

      Handling this species is not recommended.<\/p>\n

      Experience Level<\/h2>\n

      Intermediate<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Although its basic care requirements are relatively straightforward, its large size, fast growth and defensive behaviour make it more suitable for keepers with some previous tarantula-keeping experience.<\/p>\n

      Recommended Terrarium<\/h2>\n

      An adult specimen should be housed in a terrestrial terrarium providing adequate floor space and moderate height to reduce the risk of injury from falls.<\/p>\n

      Suggested dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Juveniles: from approximately 20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 20 cm.<\/li>\n
      • Adults: approximately 40 \u00d7 30 \u00d7 30 cm or larger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The enclosure should provide:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • A sufficiently deep substrate for burrowing.<\/li>\n
        • A suitable hide or sheltered area.<\/li>\n
        • A container with clean, fresh water.<\/li>\n
        • Adequate ventilation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Substrate<\/h2>\n

          A substrate capable of retaining some moisture without becoming waterlogged is recommended, such as coconut fibre, unfertilized peat or a suitable substrate mix specifically intended for terrestrial tarantulas.<\/p>\n

          Providing sufficient substrate depth allows the animal to express its natural burrowing behaviour.<\/p>\n

          Temperature<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Daytime:<\/strong> 24\u201328 \u00b0C<\/li>\n
          • Night-time:<\/strong> a slight drop in temperature is generally acceptable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Prolonged exposure to temperatures below 20 \u00b0C or above 30 \u00b0C should be avoided.<\/p>\n

            Humidity<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • Recommended relative humidity:<\/strong> approximately 65\u201375%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Part of the substrate can be kept slightly moist while allowing other areas to remain drier, giving the tarantula the opportunity to select the microclimate it prefers. Good ventilation is essential to prevent problems associated with excessive moisture.<\/p>\n

              Feeding<\/h2>\n

              Lasiodora parahybana<\/em> is known for having a strong appetite.<\/p>\n

              Suitable prey can include appropriately sized feeder insects according to the tarantula’s stage of development, such as:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Crickets.<\/li>\n
              • Feeder cockroaches.<\/li>\n
              • Small locusts.<\/li>\n
              • Mealworms or superworms on an occasional basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Prey should always be appropriately sized for the specimen, and any uneaten live prey should be removed.<\/p>\n

                Growth<\/h2>\n

                One of the main attractions of Lasiodora parahybana<\/em> is its relatively fast growth compared with many other tarantula species.<\/p>\n

                With suitable nutrition and appropriate husbandry, it can reach a considerable size within a few years.<\/p>\n

                Reproduction<\/h2>\n

                Females can produce egg sacs containing a large number of spiderlings when breeding takes place under suitable conditions.<\/p>\n

                As with other Theraphosidae species, successful development of the spiderlings requires stable environmental parameters and careful husbandry.<\/p>\n

                General Care<\/h2>\n
                  \n
                • Provide a well-ventilated enclosure.<\/li>\n
                • Ensure clean, fresh water is always available.<\/li>\n
                • Avoid maintaining excessive humidity on a permanent basis.<\/li>\n
                • Do not handle the tarantula unless absolutely necessary.<\/li>\n
                • Remove leftover prey and carry out regular enclosure maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Interesting Facts<\/h2>\n
                    \n
                  • It is one of the largest tarantula species commonly kept in captivity.<\/li>\n
                  • Its specific name refers to the Brazilian state of Para\u00edba<\/strong>, associated with the species’ native range.<\/li>\n
                  • Its characteristic salmon-coloured hairs are responsible for its well-known common name.<\/li>\n
                  • Its fast growth makes it a popular choice among many experienced tarantula keepers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
