Xenesthis sp. Bright - Giant Bright Birdeating Tarantula

Xenesthis sp. “Bright” If you want size, color, and a spider that isn't afraid to be seen, the Xenesthis genus is the pinnacle of South American terrestrials, and the "Bright" morph is exceptionally stunning. These are true giants of the hobby, boasting a velvety black texture contrasted by an exploding starburst of neon pink and magenta on the carapace. They are incredibly leggy and grow at an astonishing rate—seriously, you can almost watch them get bigger. While they can be a bit skittish and hair-kicky, they are fantastic display animals because they are always out looking for food. 📢 Special Notices & Resources Setup Tip: Xenesthis need moisture to thrive, particularly during molts, but they also require ventilation. I recommend keeping the lower layers of the substrate damp while keeping the surface relatively dry to prevent mold.
