    Usually they are hairy, have eight legs and fangs, and can range in size from smaller than a pea to bigger than a dinner plate. They can be any color from brown and black to blue and even pink.

    Very funny, Gale.

    Everyone likes different things in a spider... I personally like medium-white sides, no spots (in-between the pattern), high contrast, cool head markings, and a nice symmetrical back pattern. Here's my 1 year-old boy Vinnie, who is nearly perfect in my eyes.

    Spiders are beautiful no matter what. I prefer light reduced patterned Spiders.. High white sides are also a plus. Here is a picture of my little girl, Autumn.

    Here's my male. Can't tell you what to look for, they have variation and different traits are desired by different people. Some people like my low-white. Personally, I'd like to see more white.
