[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 89583, member: 1090"] Hello 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!! :) [/QUOTE]
