Aww... purdy

I don't really like tarantulas, so I couldn't hold it or anything. But they are very pretty.

I love looking at them in the pet stores but that's about as far as it goes.

To keep one as a pet would definitely be a big no-no for me!

Don't think I would sleep at night worrying that it might escape and come bite my toes while I am in bed!!

a dont mind them!but i wouldnt dare hold one :crazy:

WOW !

Is yours ever a beauty!
I would have one in a sec if I was not married! Yeah, that threating with the foot and the stepping on it, makes me not hve one..... :sad:

Beauty, really nice looking spider!

They give me the creeps, wouldn't dare hold one , or even be a few feet near one in a tank.

I don't really hold mine alot either...one of mine is really mean...and as long as I make sure to keep critter keepers closed, no worry of escape. That pic is of my mature male Rosie. I have been trying to find a mature female with no avail...bummer. Here is my second Rosie, he is a spiderling..named Splat. This is when I first got him 6 months ago.

They really like being left alone...I only hold them once in a while. If you don't stress them out they build great webs!!! My a.avic builds the best webs...but that is because she is arial.
Here is Splat now: I guess u cannot tell here, but he is bigger. He lives in an economy sized Betta cup...lol.

Here is a cool Pic of my Red Knee sitting on the top of his cage. He is a nut, this a weird behavior because he is a ground dwelling spider..but he has aways been this weird, even when he was a little spiderling.

here you can kind of see his color. I have more spiders, I'll get more pics if anyone is interested...anyone ever see a tarantula molt!? It is amazing, they shed like snakes, but regenerate all of their body parts and internal organs while doing so! I have a whole molt on my digital camera. If anyone wants to see what it looks like let me know, I'll post em up. :thumbs:

Sorry, the color one didn't turn out. I'll take another one later. He doesn't like the flash, and he is my mean one...lol. :crazy:

A man in Australia was caught smuggling in baby tarantula spiders the size of a 20cent piece through customs without declearing. He was holding them in photo film canisters. He was fined a herrendous amount of money and jailed for a short period! I have always been interested in them. But its not something i would keep around the house. Especially whilst still living at home.

red_fish_blue_fish · Apr 16, 2005

I got my baby spiderling through the mail in a camera canaster.

Mr Miagi · Apr 17, 2005

Yeah!

Did u buy it through the internet? Or though a dealer in your country?
