Different species of tarantulas start out as spiderlings at various sizes. In general, species that have a greater number of eggs have smaller spiderlings. Species like the Salmon Pink Bird Eater and the Brazilian Red and White can have upwards of 2,000 eggs, but they start out as small as BBs! Also, smaller species have smaller spiderlings.  Here we have a Brazilian Dwarf Pink Leg Tarantula (dwarf species), a Mexican Giant Orange Knee (250+ babies), Golden Blue Leg Baboon (smaller species), and Venezuelan Dwarf Beauty (dwarf species). We feed these spiders our smaller species of flightless fruit flies (drosophila melanogaster).
