Hello
Just got my first tarantula and new to all of this,I got myself a LP aka salmon pink bird eater. (Still not use to the scientific name)
Hope I can learn a lot,and maybe when I have more knowledge maybe expand my collection.

Welcome to the hobby.


To help you, here is the scientific name for future copy and past use.
Lasiodora parahybana (salmon pink birdeater )
You can make it shorter by writing L. parahybana


I'm sure pretty soon you will have more spiders in your collection.

Thank you very much,its a step each day. I know the one I chose is not a beginner species,but it's a species that likes to be in the open. Also when all else fails,google it. Which I did,found to be a very fast growing species also a good appetite.

Welcome!

Check out the sticky in the beginners section for good beginner species if you want a good place to start. The L.parahybana is in my opinion a trophy species for beginners and will always be a great spider to show your friends at full adult size.

Enjoy your stay

Thank you I will surely do that,since I see so many opinions when browsing the internet. It gets extremely confusing,so will definitely check out that section. I would also like to know about two other species,the pink toe and t.blondi. Where would I find a topic on those,if they have been discussed.

Hey Martin,

Welcome to the wonderful world of T's - I'm sure you'll learn a span here and don't be shy to post threads in the forum if you have any questions or want any general info.

all the best mate!
