Xenesthis sp. 'Intermedia' (Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula)
Xenesthis sp. 'Intermedia' (Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula) for sale
The X. intermedia is a part of a group of tarantulas considered "Bird Eaters" due to their large size. This species has many different "localities" that vary in different levels of color but most have dark coloration with pink highlights. Both males and females of the X. intermedia species show bright pinks on a black base color to give them super high contrast.
The genus "Xenesthis" is a group of large and colorful spiders reaching leg spans of 8" and over. We have dubbed this species the "Bugatti of Bird Eaters" as every species in this genus reaches a very large size, has a great feeding response and both sexes always exhibit stunning color. The entire genus could be considered tropical, but they do not necessaryily experience very warm conditions all the time. This common misconception of a very warm climate can actually stress this species (and other larger species) causing them to flick more urticating hairs than they normally would if kept cooler (68-78F). The whole genus of Xenesthis has a revenous appetite and will take down very large prey. If given the opportunity
The term "Bird Eater" is an overarching term that expresses the larger tarantulas in the hobby. Different sources consider the threshhold for this size at different measurements, but most seem to consider larger speciments of over 6.5" of leg span a "Bird Eater". The most common conception with "Bird Eater" tarantulas is with the goliath bird eaters, or those species in the Theraphosa genus (which can reach the legendary 10-11"+ legspan).
