Stuff tarantula collectors DON'T say

[Abyss]

Funny read!

 

[Moakmeister]

Wait, am I the only one who did like Citharischius crawshayi better?

I still have no idea how to pronounce that garble

 

[Moakmeister]

What's with all the urticating setae hate? I actually do wish that my OW's could kick hair

yeah but they're OLD WORLDS. If old worlds could kick hairs they'd probably be bald at all times. As soon as they molt, they'll just continually kick hairs until they're gone a few minutes later. And their hairs would probably be ten times worse than any New World's hairs.

'i put my LP in an arboreal set up to give it a challenge. If you don't keep them busy they'll becime unmanagable.'

'your male vagans looks like my female, let's pair them!'

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

"That's okay, I don't need a container for that OBT, I'll just stick it in my coat pocket."
"Sure go ahead and bug-bomb the house, those fleas have go to go!"
"I think I need bigger sponges in the water-dishes."

WOW. She actually sprays the tarantula with water then prods at it with tongs and wonders why it's pissed off

Well, she's an 'expert'. And Theraphosidae 'experts' describe P.cambridgei as: 'more aggressive species', everyone knows this fact :-s

I'm thinking about making a Youtube video with that "Stuff X people DON'T say" theme, so I need some suggestions on what to do in the video.

"I have no trouble finding a pet sitter when I go on a long trip."

"I buy all my tarantulas at Petco."

"Check out this great care sheet I found on Facebook."

"Be sure to mist your rosie every day."

"That screen lid is fine."

"It's cruel to keep a tarantula cooped up in a little plastic box."

"I let lots of people handle my tarantula so that it's well-socialized."

"My pinktoe loves to be petted."

"I wish it could be a sling forever."

"My tarantula keeps its water dish clean."

Whenever I need an accurate id on a species I use google images

 

[basin79]

"To be honest it's a nice change that most of my T's are hiding. I'd get fed up seeing them everyday".

 

[The Grym Reaper]

"I wish it could be a sling forever."

I actually said something like that about my GBB sling (I think they look way cooler as slings) lol
