Robbie freeze - 2017-01-12 I have a goliath biRd eater. When I got her several months ago she was eating great. She hasnt ate for about a month now. Temperature in tank is 74 degrees and humidity is around 70 to 80 percent. Any ideas. Is she preparing to molt. She is in a 20 gallon aquarium with lots of peat Moss to burrow in. Thanks in advance!

JOJO - 2019-04-29 Well, given that she hasn't been eating for a while, I think it's commonplace that she would be molting. You should probably leave her alone and remove the molted exoskeleton asap.
Yvonne Woolley - 2008-10-07 Hello, I have started keeping T's now for a couple of years. I am lucky enough to have 2 large Blondi girls, one about 6-7 inches and the other around 11 inches. The lady is called Seven and she has just produced an egg sac as big as a tennis ball, and now we wait! I have 26 other T's and a small Flat Rock Scorpion. Now as we are retired I have lots of time to look after them. Happy Spider Keeping to all of you!

Duffy - 2008-09-13 I've been keeping spiders for about 13 years now, and I've had my goliath for just over a year. She about 3 years old with a leg span of about 8 inches, so another few years and she would have reached full sized. I strongly agree with gary, beginners should not start with a goliath. As impressive as they may be they can be a handful, as they are very sensitive to cage conditions, ie humidity and temperature, and they one of the most active spiders I've come across. Although they can be agressive they're not the most agressive I've kept. If I open my goliath's cage she usually crawls into the corner and I'm able to move around the tank freely. The most agreesive I've come across is the thailand black, it's short haired and short tempered! I've almost been bitten quite a few times while trying to sort out a thailands tank. They will bite anything, leaves, pens containers, even had it killing locust just because they were in it's way, not to feed!

Barb - 2012-09-28 My boyfriend has a female Goliath Bird Eating spider who is now pushing her body against the top of the cage and I think she's trying to escape. I'm very afraid of her and I am terrified she will get out. The cage is making cracking noises and I'm over it. Where can we take her to get rid of her? Thanks! Barb

Tim - 2012-10-05 Don't just get rid of her, sounds like it's time to buy a new cage.
Laura Foster - 2012-10-26 Defnitely buy a stronger tank. If she can reach the lid, its probably not deep enough. Does she has room to burrow? There are lots of arachnid and reptile rescuers who will take her off your hands for free. If you are scared of spiders they probably aren't the best pet for you.
kirk - 2012-11-04 If you really want to get rid of her and dont want to get a better cage i would be more then happy to help you my email is albakirk@hotmail.com
Dan - 2014-06-05 The best thing to do is release the spider to a local children's playground.
Shaun - 2015-07-26 I would be very interested in buying her 07761509003
