Xenesthis sp. 'Light' (Light Beauty Bird Eater Tarantula) **VERY RARE**

Xenesthis sp. 'Light' (Light Beauty Bird Eater Tarantula)

This very rare species of Xenesthis is perhaps one of the most colorful in the genus, showing a nearly fully covered pink carapace (head) in females and bright, nearly solid pink males. Darker abdominal hairs create a high contrast look on both sexes, a lighter overall coverage than its cousin Xenesthis sp. 'Bright.' Grab this rare new world tarantula for sale if you want a true giant with genuinely rare coloration.

Why do hobbyists keep Xenesthis sp. 'Light'?

• Sexual Dimorphism: Females show a nearly fully covered pink carapace, while males run bright, nearly solid pink, both set against darker abdominal hairs for real contrast.
• Large Size: A true giant within the "bird eater" category, with serious size and presence at maturity.
• Rare in the Hobby: A very rare Xenesthis form, highly sought after by dedicated collectors.

How should Xenesthis sp. 'Light' 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 65 to 75 degrees F. This genus can actually flick more urticating hairs when kept too warm.
• Humidity: This species prefers higher humidity than many other new world terrestrials, reflecting its mountainous South American origin.
• 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?

• Genuine Rarity: This is one of the more limited Xenesthis forms, prized by dedicated collectors who chase the rarer color variations in the genus.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
