Awesome. I can handle her and everything. But every now and again she gets in a mood and I don't handle her. Now the black earth tiger I don't even touch.

Re: Love my tarantulas

Pretty cool! One of my spiders is also very tolerable of handling, but since i overreact to their hairs i never touch mine (if i touch the bedding my skin is itchy and irritated for several days)

That's awesome you can handle yours too. That sucks about the hairs. What kinds do you have?

That's awesome. And yea I feel you on the tarantula lover part. Most of my friends think I'm nuts and my parents say they will spend the night at my house. Lol

Tsubaki is good at convincing people that spiders are adorable with she talks about them though lol.

Every so often I catch myself thinking of doing a nice set up when I get my house. NO idea what kind, but pretty sure it will be something bigbut calm enough to handle...just in case I get the nerve up lol

They are interesting animals. I've always been intrigued by them. All you have to do is put a some substrate in ( enough that they can dig) and a hide. You can also put some fake plants in and just let them go

This smells to me like a Brachypelma Smithi or even better, Grammostola Pulchripes

A tarantula with deadly venom? I'd love to read a toxicity report on this species saying it can kill a human.

They have tried it on mice. It dies within 30 mins. Not very many people are willing to get bitten by a spider. But they say since the mice only live 30 mins after bitten that ur should be the same in a human. Crazy right? But I'm not willing to test this out
