Just as my title states I never thought that I would be posting in this section. I have always been scared to death of Tarantulas. Well I decided to overcome my fears. I bought my first one three weeks ago. It is a nice size Rosehair. This past weekend I also picked up a Mexican Fireleg. I am really not planning on anymore for a while. I want to get use to the ones that I have.
Thanks for looking....

LOL... I don't know about that. I really didn't have a choice about handling it. One of my friends brought her son over, and he reached right in and pulled it out. I could be shown up by a 10 year old....lol

I was in and out of the show very quickly this month - we need to meet up again soon.
Any animal can bite....lol I chose the ones that I did because of how docile they are known to be. I didn't want anything that was going to try and bit me every time I opened it's cage....

All tarantulas are venomous. Most species venom aren't that medically significant but there are a few species that, while they won't kill you, will make you very uncomfortable. It's best to avoid being bit by any species of tarantula. They can all bite but the species and the individual tarantula's attitude itself will effect the likelihood of being bit. There are no poisonous tarantulas that I know of.
