Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 237983" data-attributes="member: 49228">Theraphosa blondi is the true Goliath Bird Eater Tarantula. While, even in the wild, this species would not ever be likely to eat a bird, this species is capable of having greater than a ten inch diagonal leg span. That is a wider stretch than a dinner plate! While they are young, they are an absolute fuzz bucket. It is also easy to tell the difference between them and their close relatives while they are young.  Both of its close relatives have at least four, if not eight, pink tips to their feet as juveniles. T. blondi has never has pink tips to its feet.[ATTACH=full]75929[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
