Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird-Eating Tarantula

The Brazilian Salmon Pink Bird-Eating Tarantula, often referred to as the salmon pink or LP, is a tarantula native to northeastern Brazil. In 1917, Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leito discovered and described it in Paraba, where the tarantula is native. They are well-liked pets in the tarantula hobby due to their size and propensity for reproduction. They are also regarded as being "docile".

Since males' legs are longer than those of females, the salmon pink bird-eater can grow to have legs up to 11 inches long. Females, on the other hand, can weigh more than 100 grams. Males typically have slim bodies, whilst females frequently have big bodies relative to their legs. The front pair of legs of mature males will also have tibial hooks, which are used to pull a female's fangs back during mating. When fully grown, they exhibit pink-red hairs along the legs, chelicerae, and abdomen; the colors tend to be more vivid in the males. They have a uniform black color and are commonly regarded by pet sellers as an aesthetically beautiful tarantula species.
