ArachnoPETS?
Well, the name of this site, and my view towards keeping a tarantula or 200, leaves me to want to name mine. It is a pet, after all. Unless you view it as a science study or a business(which I guess there are a few people that frequent these boards that do) I can't see how you wouldn't want to name em.
As for Gender specific names, screw it. just take a guess, you've got a 50/50 chance, right? And it isn't like having a female's name is going to cause your male emotional trauma when you figure it out. Just pick something you can convert at a later date, if you don't know. I named my B. smithi Victoria, because she's moody, wears black, and doesn't do much. (Just like my mom, boy was she pissed
) I figure she can become a Victor if I'm wrong.
By the way, rookie.. I beleive the word Peso is generally assigned a male prefix to it in speech. I could be wrong though, isn't there a spanish teacher around here?
