I recently purchased a tarantula for a class pet (to look at) in my class. About ten years ago I kept a mexican rose legged as a pet that was given to me by a student, it was great but didn't do much except hide.

The pet shop near my house deals with a wide variety of spiders and recommended the Salmon Birdeater as a hardy and exciting to view species. So far it has been a great spider, very active and always hungry.

Any tips on feeding schedules and housing ideas would be appreciated.

Lasiodora Parahybana are Great T's.
they Grow Really fast and they are one of the worlds largest T's,next To Theraphosa Blondi(The Goliath Birdeater).the Salmon Pink.can get up to 10-11inches.they range from Skittish to Very Definsive Temperments.so i wouldnt recomend Holding them.They Eat like Pigs,they will pretty much eat any time unless the're getting ready to molt.

Good luck with it.
