That substrate can be much better.In answer to the species as I dont think anyone has answered that original question. It's a Theraphosa stirmi (Goliath Bird eater). You can tell its a stirmi rather than a blondi as there are no long hairs on the knee joints like you can see on the other leg segments. The T blondi have longer hairs on the knee.</blockquote>
