they're supposed to burrow and never be seen, that's what they do. That's what mine does. It's normal. Leave it be.

hmmmm........hehehehe.....Florida being overrun by tarantulas....maybe they'd make thier way across the state line and I can go T hunting while I'm waiting for my next class to start :)

I guess you T is'nt as think as it drunk it is.

Nice! Great story, wonder if it would work in upper-class white suburbia in the middle of the bible-belt in the deep south......hmmmmmmm

mine is a nasty lil'bugger when you get it disturbed....but those instances are few and far between. Just don't try to play with it, be careful when maintaining it, it will be fine

I'm now known as "the spider guy" at the local Petland. Thier rosies still need some working on, evidently the Petland manager got his hands on some book that says rosies don't need water dishes. However, I did manage to get them to give the lividium they had a waterdish....I bought the...

Hmmm, well, would'nt hurt to ask. Maybe go through some of the people I know in the Cohort groups (student teachers) as I really don't have any ties to this area's schools

yeah...unfortunately she continues to beat me...the center area is about 2" higher than the edges thanks to her.

Dunno why...but she's very fond of climbing the terrarium and hanging on the mesh and putting her fangs through. It's not the substrate, it's a 50/50 mix of peat moss and vermiculite that she's been on for quite awhile (almost 3 months) It's not the humidity...I keep it fairly constant and...

I see a lot of people doing this and was just wondering how it came about? Did the schools contact you or did you contact the schools? If they contacted you, how'd the find out that you owned Tarantulas? I'm in rural Georgia and I'm pretty sure that the kids here would not only get a kick...

I think it depends on the species.... My 5" B. smithi, 4" H. lividium, and (formerly) 2" P. murinus all have eaten pinkies (though the B. smithi ran away the first time...second time it nailed it) My 5" G. rosea won't touch them...but I think she's on another fast right now and I think...

it's...it's....MOTHRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah, it's a caterpillar.

weird.....I've seen a couple of those here in GA too....thought they were also wolf spiders....they're quicker to get aggressive than my P. murinus or H. lividium

ease of care compared to mammalian pets (dogs, cats, etc) Longevity (find me a dog that will live 30 years and I'll show you that Liechtenstein has enough nukes to kill every living thing on the planet)

Sorry to hear about it.....good that you're trying to make her as comfortable as possible though.

Get a bible and a cross and repeat the following: THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! LEAVE THIS INNOCENT TARANTULA AT ONCE! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! If that does'nt work, seek help from local priest

I may just take you up on that offer.....if my roomates don't kill me for getting another T :P

Well...if worse comes to worse...fight emotion with logic....and lemme know if I can break some kneecaps for ya ;)

Just simply explain that the child is not to rub thier eyes after handling the tarantula. Hell, if it makes the parent feel better....get a supply of safety goggles from your school's shop class or chemistry class. Also, give a list of safety precautions to the parent so that they can tell...

Well, special licensing should be mandatory for large predatory animals and animals that are know to be deadly to humans. That way only the people with the proper training and experience keep them...and not idiots like the guy in New York who kept a damn tiger in his apartment
