Lasiodora klugi – Bahia Scarlet Birdeater TarantulaMeet Lasiodora klugi, the Bahia Scarlet Birdeater — one of the largest tarantulas on the planet and arguably the most visually dramatic member of the Lasiodora genus. Endemic to the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil, this species commands attention the moment it enters a room. A jet-black body set ablaze with vivid scarlet-red setae on the abdomen and leg joints creates a color contrast that is nothing short of stunning — and at a potential leg span exceeding 10 inches, there is simply no missing it.Despite its imposing size, L. klugi is a relatively bold and straightforward species to keep. It is an active, fast-growing terrestrial that will make the most of a spacious enclosure and reward its keeper with frequent visibility. A true centerpiece animal — the kind of tarantula that stops conversations and starts them at the same time.Care Highlights Type: New World Terrestrial Origin: Bahia state, northeastern Brazil Temperament: Bold and defensive when threatened; fast mover — experienced keepers recommended Adult Size: 9–11+ inch leg span — one of the largest tarantula species in the world Growth Rate: Fast Enclosure: Large terrestrial setup with ample floor space; moderate substrate depth Temperature: 75–84°F (24–29°C) Humidity: Moderate — 65–75%; moist lower substrate with drier surface; water dish always available Feeding: Voracious and aggressive feeder; large roaches, crickets, or pre-killed prey items Urticating hairs: Yes (Type III) — heavily armed; handle with appropriate care What You'll Receive One (1) live Lasiodora klugi — size and sex per variant selected Live Arrival Guarantee — we stand behind every animal we ship Packed with heat or cold packs as needed for safe transit Size and sex availability listed by variant.
