Pretty spider. It does look pretty hungry. I know they wont try to eat a hand but I would still be afraid.

My charming E.Murinus (Skeleton Tarantula), Bone Daddy.

This is his reaction to the removal of the heavy metal records from his tank.

:p

Hahaha looks good! To this day, I have yet to own this species, but hopefully will sometime in the future. Great looking spiders IMO!

Definitely. I've wanted one for ALONG time.

Behavior changed DRASTICALLY when properly fed in his new home. He has a pirate ship statue in his tank he hides in. Maybe I should start calling him Captain Bone Daddy.

I have considered adding a skeleton or two to my collection are they typically that behavior or is it just having a bad day.

Nice Legs! I've been wanting one of these for a while, but heard they were a bit of a pet hole. If that's the case I've got other holes that I want that are higher on the list. Keep us informed on if yours is a burrower or not.

Another question; is your T room in your kitchen?

Nope, just had that one set up for a couple of days on the counter to make more room in the official T room :p

Mine...not a pet hole. He's out quite a bit WHEN he wants to be...Which is usually at night, but he is out quite a bit during the day. He does hide quite a bit in a hide, but have yet to see him burrow.

They're quite awesome T's ,beautiful coloring.
