Longest lived tarantula

[shaggie]

When I was 17 (14 years ago) I gave my cousin my female rosehair tarantula for a school project. My uncle just told me today that she hd died in june, when I got her up she was already full grown and I kept her for 2 years so that would put her at a min of 16+ years old. Just wanted to see if others had had tarantulas last that long?

Aww I am sorry for the loss.

No, this is not unheard of. I just saw a post someone made on another forum that their tarantula died at 19 years old. Many can live up to 25 years.

The person who introduced me to Ts had an adult female rose hair that he had owned for 18 years and she was a full grown adult when he got her.
