    Rosies do the darndest things

    One of mine flips his water bowl over, causing a loud, glass on plastic clang. Another will go from docile and nice to *screeeeee!!!!* and on four legs, "salivating" at the thought of getting his fangs in my hand.... hehe. Gotta love those wacky roseas.

    Friend has an allergy...

    JPD has a great point. Almost all bites that are unidentified are blamed on spiders, with the recluse taking the dirty end of the stick. If your friend gets bit again, ask for the spider that bit them. I'm sure all the wonderful people here will be at least 99% accurate in identifying it. Just...

    Are G. Rosea near extinct in the wild ?

    As I recall hearing, CITES has their sights on the rosehairs, and have stopped the importation of many others. I'd personally buy CB. On average though, juvies sell at the local petstore easier, some people are 'frightened' by the larger specimens. I'm sure a search on CITES would answer more...

    Tarantula bite kit

    I suppose a regular first-aid kit would suffice, treat it like a thumbtack wound. Or by rare chance, a thumbtack wound with a nice dose o' venom. As far as it seems, the venom won't do you much damage. I'd clean the wound and keep an eye on my health. If it gets too bad, you could see a doc...

    You Know You Are An Aracnophile When:

    Oh, or if you are infamous for "correcting" movies/TV about the portrayal of arachnids, or for giving the wrong scientific name. I got yelled at by some friends, watching some "b movie" about the 'Island of Tarantulas" or something like that.... The giant (don't even need to get into physics)...

    Need Help!

    Great to hear the T seems to be doing better! I wouldn't use the sponge personally, I've heard they are magnets for bateria and cricket eggs, but I suppose if you keep it clean.... *shrug* Back to the real issue, awesome to know the the T is a survivor! Jp

    Need Help!

    I'd suggest putting the tarantularium in a shallow dish of water, the ants shouldn't cross the water... aside from that, just treat the little beauty with love, things should be fine if she is able to move about. Aside from that, I'd find how the ants get in.... are you using store-bought...

    Advice on getting haired

    When I get a good dose of the 'hair', I just go and run extremely hot water on the area. Vinegar has worked for a friend, but I'm not sure if it'll help ya, seems you might be allergic. Sorry that I can't help you more.
