Brazilian Giant Blonde (Nhandu vulpius)

I'll be getting a Brazilian Giant Blonde (Nhandu vulpius) on tuesday so if anyone can give me as much correct info as they can on this tarantula it will be very helpful.

I looked it up on ask.com and google with no such luck.

so if anyone can drop some good correct info it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Try nhandu vulpinus. From what I gather, the basic terrestrial set-up is the way to go. Enough substrate so that there is no chance of a fatal fall from the top of the enclosure, a hide and a water dish.

Please don't think I'm trying to start a flame war. But, did you read up on this tarantula before purchasing it? I mean do you know what you're gonna need and what it'll need setup wise for a healthy life?

I know the basic stuff ..I was just more thinking about handling, general information such as if this is an OW or a NW ( I know the difference is uricating hairs but i dont know this one has any or not) and the correct humidity.

Not so much the humidity because I brought a humidifier so the humidity issue wont be a big issue but I'd still like to know..

and I have rose hairs and a vesicolor and i had some T's awhile back. so I'm not like a beginner at all.

and I'm getting some H gigas which I did read up on and know about.

It's a NW from Brazil. It is supposed to be skittish and a hair-kicker, just like the other members of the nhandu genus. I personally think they are more attractive than nhandu chromatus. Being that it is known as a hair-kicker, you should probably avoid handling, unless you aren't sensitive to the itch.

thanks very much.
