Oh!...(i enter you to the mystery world of spiders-tarantulas-bird eaters lol)...you must observe them to understand their beauty. Their beauty is their shape, hairs, colors, movement, defensive posture...so much more...

They are very interesting and don't take up a lot of room. True you don't see them very much but at night if you set up a red or blk light you can watch them move around. But I agree it is not for everybody.:D

Kind of like some large snakes I've seen!:D

When you have to do with nature and animals, patience and observation is the key that unlocks man's ignorance, changing it to knowledge and respect for all living creatures.

That is very Zen!

:)...i used to meditate...well not so deep. Just relaxing and mind tripping. It was so good for the inner self!

Wolf spiders are a little more active than most species of tarantula. A little more spastic too. I've kept a few different ones, this one big girl I have recently dropped an eggsack with god knows how many babies - I never counted them but there were many. I think she's gravid again, waiting to see if she makes an eggsack. :)

I don't even know what started my fascination with spiders and scorpions. It just sort of happened, but honestly, the chilean rose hair is about as generic of a tarantula as you can get. There are many other, far more fascinating species. :cool:
