That's bait. I suggest that all of us leave this thread now, and never return.I think tarantulas are big and sloppy and very easy to kill.

I like both tarantulas, other Mygalomprphs AND araenomorphae aka all true spiders! But tarantulas are my favourite spiders over all! Why I dont really know? They have treats that i like! They are big, have more primitive fangs that work vertically and other things. It is hard to say why you like one type of spider better. Its like peopld who like plants. Some like cactus and some like orchids!I still have not had 1 real answer yet. What is the appeal in keeping tarantulas?
Are you joking L Mactans is just a black and red widow that looks the same as the other 90% of them out there. T Seledonia it completely unique and you’re saying you like quality over quantity all widows look that similar it’s gawna look like you’re keeping loads of the 1 spider = quantity over qualityTyphochlaena seladonia. I do believe the southern/western black widow is more beautiful.
Times like this call for some heavy bass playing.I've decided from now on I'm gonna call this kind of stuff "one-day wonders". Members that somehow manage to prompt all the above reactions in less than a single day after joining
Not joking. There is literally no comparison to me if you wanna talk beauty, uniqueness, elegance. In my view you are 100% the one who has displayed quantity over quality. I already knew about that tarantula type. I do understand this is subjective though.Are you joking L Mactans is just a black and red widow that looks the same as the other 90% of them out there.

True spiders have shorter natural lifespans but their lives are more admirable, and shorter natural lifespan doesn't change the fact that the true web spiders are more durable, elusive, brave, adaptable, sophisticated, and game. they usually have honorable deaths. they live their lives with more quality and bang.Tarantulas have been around on the earth for much longer time than true spiders so i would not call them fragile! A G rosea can be withiut food for 2 years. A true spider cant! Many speicies doesnt even live that long!
I would take you up on your offer. My black widows regularly eats scorpions and tarantulas that I buy for feed. She is elusive as any.And about that statement that "Red backs" kills tarantulas. Yes they can if they manage to bite it, but i can asure you. Throw in a Red back spider into my "bad to the bone" Phormictopus atrichomatus enclosure. That red back would be owned!
But seriously, this is not a competition which is best. Tarantulas, or true spiders! Both groups are awesome in their own way! It is meerly a matter of taste. Some people finds tarantulas the most intresting. Some finds true spiders more intresting. Some people like both equally much! I like all spiders. But in keeping regards, as a hobby. I like tarantulas best!
all true spiders are beautifulTrue spiders can be pretty ugly but also completely gorgeous.
I've yet to see a Tarantula that wasn't at the very least cute. Obviously its all subjective but if you wanna play the VS game, feel free to put your widows in any T enclosure
Latrodectus variolusWhat would you suggest as a first 'true' spider?
Wow. I had no idea this was such a trigger topic. It is definitely funny to observe. Breast vs bottle, carnivore vs vegetarian, vax vs nonvax... every forum has their trigger posts. I just didn"t realize "true" vs tarantula would be one.I've decided from now on I'm gonna call this kind of stuff "one-day wonders".

As spoken by 'The Dude' Lebowski: "That's like, well, your opinion, man."your tarantulas got size on my true spiders, but my true spiders got the quality.
Yes, we should complain. This thread is going nowhere and has reached the level of 'My daddy is stronger than yours'. Opinions are like ani, everyone has one. Doesn't mean that one's opinion is better than someone else's. And stating one's opinion as fact doesn't change that.you guys shouldn't complain about me making this thread when you tarantula fans made the same exact thread in our territory
So you're fine with spending 20-50 dollars to feed a spider with another spiderMy black widows regularly eats scorpions and tarantulas that I buy for feed.
That remark pretty much convinced me this thread was bait from the get-go.So you're fine with spending 20-50 dollars to feed a spider with another spider
