How big do tarantulas grow? In the short story "the old man with enormous wings" by (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) freak show had came to town. People rusher to go hear the story of the so called spider woman who been transformed into a giant tarantula with a head of a woman after she'd disobeyed her parents. And that's when i thought to myself, how big do tarantulas get?



There are a few types of tarantulas that will grow to be nine to ten inches, but the biggest and largest is Theraphosa blondi known as a bird eater it can reach to one foot (12inches in hight). The Theraphosa blondi is a big spider that belonges to the tarantula family.

The Theraphosa blondi is a big spider that mad me shit my pants when i saw the picture of it. But i think that i would like to have a spider like this and be best friends with it, so it could eat all the birds out side my house that wake me up in the morning. Since it has the name bird eater. But yea this spider is a big i wonder if it eats chicken?
