Stuff tarantula collectors DON'T say

[HybridReplicate]

"I just love all the different breeds!"
"O. M. G. Wouldn't it be the cutest thing to cross Theraposa blondi with Brachypelma albopilosum to make Goliath Curly Hairs?!"

Sadly I fear some would say that.

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

The spiders are getting in the way of this cleavage show

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

GBB slings don't count! (I wish mine would keep her tiger butt forever.)

Tiger butt

"I swear, honey, this is my last spider. I don't need anymore."

Wait, this is "Stuff tarantula collectors don't say", not "Stuff tarantula collectors say, but know deep down they don't actually mean"

I think that requires a separate thread lol

"So my G. pulchra turned out to be a male, but it's okay. I love him just the same"

Omg stop, I literally sold off a pulchra because it had me fooled into thinking it was female and then it turned male haha. At least I was able to afford a female B. emilia and a G. pulchripes with the money from selling the pulchra lol. (Btw no regrets the pulchra moved 50 times less than either of the newbies)

You can decide

Well I guess that answers that.

It's an "arboreal breed," you know, and that 6" spider is "half grown."

"The best part of tarantula ownership is the mutual bond formed with your pet."

"I hate watching my T's kill those poor roaches."

"My tarantula likes to be tickled under her chin."

"It's mean to keep them in a cage. I let mine roam around the house"
Not even gonna lie tho, if you COULD let a tarantula walk around like a regular cat or dog and it could come up to you to snuggle in your lap that would be A W E S O M E

My OBT doesn't need to sit in my lap to smuggle stuff from me; extra crix, worms, even playing cards from time to time when it gets bored in the burrow

As for something keepers never say, how about "are your tarantulas de-fanged?". Never gets old

I've formed a mutual bond with my L. klugi. I give her dubias; she tries her best to resist the urge to fling hairs at me whenever I open her enclosure.
