By far my most entertaining tarantula to date has been my a geniculata. That thing is always up to something.

There are a species of frogs that live with an aphonopelma species. I think it eats the ants in the burrow.

I have an a Chalcodes by since I don't really mess with my tarantulas I couldn't say if they are mellow or not. I will tell you there was an old guy in a home and garden store that explained to me that their fangs can't pierce human skin and he knows this because as a kid him and his friends...

They are opportunistic little sneaks...like a chihuahua that constantly tries to run out the door

Thanks for the answers guys. Occasionally I read or hear that they are poisonous even on care vids and documentaries. But then again...internet lol.

Lol don't know why I spelled it that way but thanks for the answer.

When I first started reading about Ts (lol I never thought I would actually buy one let alone have 30) I assumed that urricating hairs were irritating because of their shape. I was recently told that they are poisonous and that's why they itch. So my question is are they poisonous or is it the...

I was talking to a motorcycle instructor and he was telling me if you ride you will eventually crash. I don't subscribe to that theory with motorcycles tarantulas or anything else. Saying you are gonna mess up is silly IMO. Follow protocalls and develop good habits and your chances of getting...

I don't know a ton but from what I've gathered there are few things that make it a tarantula. They have to have setae and they use their legs to bite rather than pinching their fangs together. I'm sorry I don't remember the rest but there are 3 or four more things that make Ts. I'll look it up...

Can't go wrong with an Aurutum or Emilia.

Most laws prohibiting things never come to light unless there is a crusader behind it. If the person getting bit is a 15 year old with a bored mother that is horrified at the result of her child's pet biting him/ her. That being said too many irresponsible owners and sellers will eventually...

My Genic isn't what I would consider calm but it is by far one of the most entertaining spiders I have. My pulchripes are awesome Ts but they are tiny. I don't want to be that guy but many would agree that you should get both.

Boom. Thanks for that.

Those are so cool I look forward to getting a pokie when I'm ready.

A few pics of the situation might be helpfull if you can do it.

When I use a taller tank I just add more sub. The exos , as someone said earlier, can have a lot of cool setups with levels and whatnot. But they do open in front and have screen tops which do tend to claim T legs from time to time. Something to think about.

Since I have an excess curlys I give those away.

My approach is this: Ask yourself honestly how often you make mistakes. Also get into the habit of using tweezers even when you don't have to. If you can do that for a while and never attemp "just a quick reach in" you might move forward to other self training. I don't own anything that would...

Most of my friends and family just say it's creepy and move on but there's some that say they won't come over because of them. Find that odd since I live in an area where the wild spiders are highly toxic. And then there's the ones that want to hold one. When I explain why I don't mess with my...

You're gonna get asked to post pics. I'm pretty sure m robustum is a big fan of burrows and moisture so staying in a burrow isn't outa sorts.
