Xenesthis sp. 'Intermedia' (Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula)
Xenesthis intermedia is part of a group of tarantulas considered "bird eaters" due to their large size. This species has many localities that vary in color, but most show dark coloration with pink highlights. Both males and females display bright pinks on a black base, giving them exceptional high contrast. This genus is often called the "Bugatti of Bird Eaters," since every species reaches a very large size, has a great feeding response, and both sexes always exhibit stunning color. Grab this new world tarantula for sale if you want a true giant with color in both sexes.
Why do hobbyists keep Xenesthis sp. 'Intermedia'?
- Stunning Coloration: Bright pink highlights against a black base in both males and females.
- Large Size: Reaches 8 inches at full leg span, firmly in "bird eater" territory.
- Great Feeding Response: A strong, reliable feeder typical of the genus.
How should Xenesthis sp. 'Intermedia' be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 8 inches at full leg span.
- Enclosure: This species needs real room to roam, so plan for an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a roomy hide included.
- Temperature: Keep on the cooler side, between 68 to 78 degrees F. This genus can actually flick more urticating hairs when kept too warm, so avoid overheating the enclosure.
- Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
- Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
- Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
- Temperament: Generally calm but can be skittish when frightened, more likely to retreat than stand its ground.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Keep It Cool: Unlike many tropical species, this genus does better without excess heat, which helps keep it calmer overall.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
