Do you have a Charlotte?

[Teal]

As the title suggests..

Who has a tarantula named Charlotte?

And, more specifically, is it a G. rosea?

Include your T's species in your answer!

 

[VESPidA]

nope, not yet... but the day i get a g. pulchra that will be its name i always envisioned Charlotte to be a beautiful jet black spider

 

[Aurelia]

The spider in Charlotte's web is Araneus cavaticus, they're brown and yellow. I don't have a tarantula Charlotte, but I like to name mine after Disney princesses. I have a Jasmine and Belle right now.

 

[VESPidA]

^^ oh that's neat, i didn't know that. oh well, she'll always be black in my mind

 

[Kirsten]

You all know that I do and that she is a G. rosea

 

[jayefbe]

I don't have a Charlotte. Actually, I don't name my tarantulas (or scorpions or snakes or fish or beetles) and the fact that some hobbyists do has always perplexed me.

 

[EightLeggedFrea]

No. I don't particularly like that name.

 

[Redneck]

Nope no Charlotte.. You never answered you own question Jairi... Do you? LoL! Im just kidding I think we all know you can come up with the better names..

 

[Ariel]

[Mina]

Yes, we have a Charlotte and a Fern. Both are female L. parahybanas.

[Steve Calceatum]

You knew I was going to post here, lol. Yep, my Charlotte is a Rosie!!!!! Was only going to keep one, sooo.......but we all know how that resolution held up.

The spider in Charlotte's web is Araneus cavaticus, they're brown and yellow. I don't have a tarantula Charlotte, but I like to name mine after Disney princesses. I have a Jasmine and Belle right now.

Lol, I too have a Jasmine.....My little hair-kicking B. smithi.[\I]

 

[Shell]

My Charlotte is a G.pulchripes.

I wasn't going to name her, but then decided that I was only going to own 1 (11 now ) so naming her was ok lol

 

[Teal]

and the fact that some hobbyists do has always perplexed me.

See the "Random Venoming" thread for a little bit on insight to a few of us who just name.. well, everything

LOL toxic.. how'dya know?

Steve... I was gonna hunt you down and direct you to this post if you didn't respond haha

Tommy... nope, no Charlotte here! It's not a name that appeals to me lol

 

[Noexcuse4you]

Haha I have a Charlotte. Although, she's not a G. rosea. She's one of my first T's - an Aphonopelma reversum.

I don't have a Charlotte. Actually, I don't name my tarantulas (or scorpions or snakes or fish or beetles) and the fact that some hobbyists do has always perplexed me.

To some people they are pets, not just objects to be collected.

You're implying that they're nothing more than baseball cards to me, and I can assure you they are not.

The greatest pleasure I gain from inverts is observing their behaviors. While I'll be sad when they die or move on to new homes, I can't say I have any emotional attachment to them.

 

[Teal]

I have emotional attachment to ALL my animals... and not in the "Oh they are my children" way, and not so much so that I am a complete mess if they die... but they are living critters, and I do get attached

I get less attached to other people, than my animals lol

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Steve... I was gonna hunt you down and direct you to this post if you didn't respond haha

Maybe I should have waited.....sounds like that route could have been more fun, LOL!!!!

Look at her face.......Who could resist naming a good-looking girl like this "Charlotte???"

 

[Teal]

Aww, what a purdy girl

And don't worry, I'm sure something else will come up that I need to hunt you down for LOL
