Heh, actually "T's" are not tarantulas. The only real tarantula is the
Lycosa tarantula. The name was given for the region of "Tarento".
Fran is correct. The term "tarantula" has been generically applied to the therasphosidae for so long no one agues the point any more.

Har har, Paul.

Thus, tarantulas are spiders.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of correcting people on this matter.
This should be a giant bold header at the top of this forum.

Philth has one of the most enormous T. blondi specimens I've ever seen. It even made it to documentary television on History Channel's "Monster Quest: Monster Arachnids!" (a show I worked on, btw! :D )
That's one silly show I'm sorry to say, no offense to you and the good work that I'm sure you did for them.

They can't go and look for a 16" tarantula, which would be unprecidented and amazing were they to find one...no they have to go and look for a 5 foot Tarantula.


Same thing with the octopus episide. Do they go and search for a 30 footer which would be astounding as it s? No they look for a 200 footer.

Silly program, and a shame because it has so much potential.

What I should have said was that a tarantula is not an insect but there you go,my big mistake which I admit I made here on this forum.

Fran, while you're at it, show 'em your big smithi girl. I'm betting that one would win hands down in proportionately stockiest class. He knows how to grow 'em-that's one thing for certain. :worship:

Yeah Fran, why don't you tell 'em who you got that huge smithi from. ;)

The blondi is only 4', but sure. :D

I don't know what it is about blondi's ,may just be the skinny legs and huge,fat bodies but I can't put my finger on it {D
How they get around still amazes me
