Update on my T. blondi

Ok so i got my blondi about 2 months ago, i was abit disappointed a little while ago to find out the supposed female goliath birdeater i got actually turns out to be male, but i guess ill just have to live with it, hes still cool anyway

Roughly id guess him to be about 9 inches or so and recently hes been eating like mad, ive experienced some aggression and been more than a little scared when he went for my hand whilst trying to clean the inside glass.

I found it slightly amusing when he was chasing after this locust and knocked the hygro and thermometer on the ground in there flying across the tank lol.

But just thought id let you guys know. Heres a friendly pic for your amusement which im going to have to set as my display pic aswell i think lol.

you should find him a female

But then the only problem is that the male will be the vulnerable one, id rather have 1 than none at all lol

man thats one scary looking spider lol! spiders scare the crap into me!!

Scares me too, but aslong as you respect him and realise what hes capeable of then you know not to make any mistakes lol

hahahahha yeah man too rights!! i wouldnt go in the same building lol!! i thought scorps would have the same effect on me but they didnt lol i found that quite strange:) i can handle scorps no problem but spiders i can hardly be in the same room:P

I dont handle him that would be abit too dangerous for my liking, chances are ill take out my other tarantula sometime soon though

wow thats not the T.blondi right?? i still wouldt put my hand anywhere near them lol because id be shaking to much and theyd have my hand for lunch lol:P

Nah thats not my t. blondi still, thats my n. chromatus, and nah they aint that bad

are those ones docile enough to be handled then?? youl have to get a pic lol really nice colouring on it though, but still wouldt go anywhere near it ha ha

There not supposed to be, but i think mine is, in general i think there about average

i hear the worst part of T. blondi is the hairs!!

Ive managed to get a couple of hairs whilst rumaging around in the tank, wasnt that bad compared to my n. chromatus, but its probably different when they actually fire them at you, ill let you know when it happens lol

hahahaha:O that sounds horrible!! i bet it feels like loads of splinters lol!!!!

I knew a guy who held a pickled T. blondi for an interview -- the next day he had a rash halfway up his forearm.
