Brazilian Salmon
Laisodora parahybana
(laa-see-uh-DAW-ruh) (paa-ruh-hy-BAA-nuh)
[(Greek) Shaggy Skin] + [derived from a place name]
AKA: Brazilian Pink Haired Birdeater, Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, Campina Grande Salmon Pink Bird Spider, Salmon Pink
|

The Brazilian Salmon is a large species with up to a 10 inch leg span. I think it is the third largest species. If you want a large "display" tarantula, I think this is a species you should consider. It is nearly impressive (size wise) as the Goliath Birdeater, and in my opinion prettier and more fun to look at. I've heard that they are more active and dont hide as much at the GB as well.
