Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sage Exotics" data-source="post: 128433" data-attributes="member: 27797"><p>I wanted a birdeater to add to my collection for a while now. I have a 25-30 gallon long terrarium to use and I have coconut fibre substrate. Two years ago I got what I thought was a Brazilian red sling, turns out he’s a orange baboon tarantula. I’m ok with any big birdeater really, but I don’t want the tank to look empty and all, so I’m thinking Goliath. I don’t really care if it’s blondi or the other one that starts with S, just the easiest one to care for. I won’t be handling my spider so I don’t really mind temperment. I’ve had a Chilean rose since I was three and an orange baboon for the past two 1/2 years. I’m fine with buying caves and branches and dishes for him/her. Do you think a Goliath would be okay? If not, what other birdeater would be the most suitable?</p></blockquote><p></p>
