Here is a HUGE and RARE THERAPHOSA BLONDI Birdeating Tarantula.....considered the largest spider in the world! [The Laotian huntsman spider does have a slightly larger leg span, but much smaller body mass].  From old collection...
Specimens like this are increasingly difficult to obtain as they are not being exported... This is a FEMALE specimen, with aprox. 9-10 inch leg span if fully extended... from Guyana and set professionally mounted/taxidermy. This is an unmounted specimen, NOT FRAMED... It is set on styrofoam base and wrapped in celophane
