....and to reinforce your post even more as you are spot on @Kymura many will now sell or offer the Theraphosa stirmi (the Burgundy Goliath Birdeater) - just as a Goliath Bird eater as although even these are expensive to buy, they are slightly more readily available than what was the "mother" of all bird eaters the blondi.First.
Hello and welcome to the forums.
Now,
Most here don't use common names. So it might get more attention if your specific. Assuming your looking for
a AF Theraphosa blondi?
Offering personal services now......lolHello there and welcome! There are 3 main "goliath bird eaters" (as you would put it) in the hobby (although there are other Goliath's of different species but I won't confuse you). These are the main 3 that most people look for when searching for a massive tarantula with a big appetite:
1. Theraphosa stirmi
2. Theraphosa blondi
3. Theraphosa apophysis
All of them require a moderately humid environment and if their environment isn't maintained as it should be, they can diminish very easily. The Theraphosa stirmi would probably be your best bet as it is more readily available, cheaper in price (when compared to the other 2), and gets just as big (might be 1/4-1" smaller in leg span than its rivals). Either way, it's a massive tarantula with a "large" leg span (most reaching 10-11.25"). If you research these 3 and decide which one suits you best (it's your decision), let me know and I will personally help you find what you are looking for. Hope this helps! Also, if you're interested in other species that are considered "Goliath's", there are a few more that I can give you a list of. Happy hunting!!
Shame I am thousands of miles away then.....I am sure I could use your servicesTo be honest, Phil, I "personally" service a lot of folks, lol....

Naturally.....There is always the exception to the rule....I am obviously in the "minority"Lol....I'm hoping you took that I meant in reference to helping others with research and extended search for what they need as far as "Inverts" go.....lol....but if I must stereotype you....you are a "man" and I know how the "majority" of you think....
Yes soil shouldn't be "wet" (soaked) but moderately damp. Coconut substrate is ok to use but I would mix it with peat moss because it's known for retaining moisture & helping with humidity levels.Casey K, your cool!
I am also interested in other species that are considered "Goliath's"
Also by "moderately humid environment" Soil should always wet and im guessing coconut husk?
That's cool. . You can also buy a cool mist humidifier if your conditions are that bad. It worked for me.TBH I'm going to buy some plants at the pet store, which requires high humdity, to see how well I can keep my humidity levels, its just so dry where I live. I don't want to risk anything.
Is there a all jet black goliths?
