[quote=halfassedjediknight]yeah the actual common name is 'goliath bird eater'. i think the scientific name is L. Parhybana, but I could be mistaken. they can grow anywhere from 12-15" in length ranging from fron leg to back leg.

about the jumping part, tarantulas cant jump. their abdomen would burst and they would die.

You would prob. know better than myself ? She claimed it'd hang out in trees like your sayin in the wild and jump and snag birds outa mid air ? She had pics of it since it was a baby and lived in a lil brown medicine bottle . It was as big as a 10 in paper plate . How old / how long do you think it took to get that big man ?

Peace bro.

xcrispi Reviewed by xcrispi on . my angry tarantula just thought id post a pic of my pissed off zebra leg (costa rican zebra, "aphonopelma seemani") In the first shot hes crawling up to the camera, the second pic he got pissed at it and started to display his fangs at me. the third and fourth are just him cruisin around, and the last is his home.
