{"product_id":"australian-nunns-birdeater-phlogius-sp-rockhampton","title":"Australian Nunn's Birdeater (Phlogius sp. \"Rockhampton\")","description":"\u003cp\u003eNunn’s Birdeater ( Phlogius sp. Rockhampton) is a massive, highly sought-after Australian tarantula. Known as one of the largest and heaviest species in the country, adult females rival the size of a dinner plate, reaching leg spans up to 20 cm. They are native to Central Queensland's dry eucalypt forests and hard red soils. Appearance: Striking coloration that deepens to a jet black after molting. They feature thick, segmented legs covered in long setae (bristles). Temperament: They are generally reclusive, nocturnal, and docile but can be defensive if threatened. Diet: A strict diet of appropriately sized insects, such as crickets and woodies (roaches). Habitat \u0026amp; Captive Care: Because of their arid-to-semi-arid natural environment near Rockhampton, they differ slightly in care from strictly tropical tarantulas: Enclosure: Requires a terrarium setup with a deep, specialized substrate mix suitable for burrowing, as they construct silk-lined burrows. Handling: Like most Australian tarantulas, handling is strongly discouraged to prevent the spider from falling and injuring itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreepyCrawlys.com 🕷️","offers":[{"title":"10mm","offer_id":53694860427558,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8000\/4646\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_1a1437f7-1c67-467b-93ca-187179acd601.jpg?v=1786850409","url":"https:\/\/creepycrawlys.com\/products\/australian-nunns-birdeater-phlogius-sp-rockhampton","provider":"CreepyCrawlys.com 🕷️","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
