WOW! She is a Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater and she's crawling up Kim's arm. A very nice specimen. What's her name? She looks very much like my Oliver. Do you suppose Oliver was an Olivia all those years and I never knew? How do you tell? Anyway, thanks, for the unusual photos.

HOLLY SHIT BALLS. that things is FREAKING HUGE.. AHHH...
thanks for sharing Picture is close enough for me.
Does that thing actually eat birds? Holy jeebus!
LOL you guys...her name is Darby and yes she will eat birds when she's big enough. In her native habitat they climb into nests and take not only baby birds but squirrels, lizards, frogs and anything else--other spiders too.
Pat, there are a couple of ways to tell if your spider is a female or male...the first is color; like birds, the male spider is the prettier brighter-colored one. Also, the females have much larger abdomens, for spinning silk for their egg sacs.
Thanks for posting the pics! I love my girl...
:)
Dang, I think Olly was a girl now. Darby is going to be huge!
