Common Name:Haitian Brown Bird-eating Tarantula
Scientific Name: Phormictopus cancerides
Status: Captive Bred
Country of origin - Haiti and the West Indies
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability: Easy to keep but large and aggressive
My Opinion:
One of my favourite tarantulas, big and bold. They tend to sit out in the open where they can be seen but are generally rather aggressive so I wouldn't recommend them unless you are an experienced tarantula keeper. When I first started keeping tarantulas many moons ago, they were a popular and easy to obtain spider. These days they appear to be far more rare, I don't think I have seen a fully grown adult for some years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is difficult to give a size for the spiders
as stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling up
to 1.5cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderling
with a body length of about 1.5cm, medium 2cm to 4cm and a large is 4cm to
fully adult (but a lot depends on the species!)
If you would like me to measure the body
length of any medium or large spider, please send me an email. I cannot measure
the body length of small and juvenile size spiders as they are constantly
changing.
All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
