I'm sure it will eventually happen due to some fault of my own but that doesn't detour me from appreciating an animal who I can handle so long as I keep in mind the true nature of the animal itself. :) Im not as brave as some tarantula keepers. I try and keep only more docile species. Although once I have more experience there are a few more unruly species that I have my eye on. :) I'm just fascinated by them. :/

perhaps im not getting my point across, there venomous to humans right?

or can you take out there venom

Similar to a wasp sting. Although I've never been bitten. Just done research.

It can can anywhere from a bee sting to throwing up with muscle cramps for a few days to a week or more. :)

I should have been more clear. The 2
Different species of tarantulas
I own have bites like wasp stings (brachypelma vagans and grammastola pulcha) but there are species that can give you a terrible bite that makes you feel like absolute crap. As mentioned above. So since I said "like a wasp sting" do NOT go out and buy any tarantula. Some of them are down right mean with a nasty bite. thanks for correcting. Don't want people buying up trapdoor spiders! :)

Gladicosa pulchra update.

Her babies are starting to leave her back. There are babies floating around my T room.
You can spot one here. Very tiny.

We are going to try and hatch them out.

I keep finding more wolf spiders :D up to around 20 babies now. She has a few more on her back.

Ive always tried to keep a few T's around, cuz they're just so fascinating, easy to keep, and don't take up but the tiniest of spaces :D. Currently I only have a 3 year old G.rosea, and two stripe tail scorpions, but there is an adorable baby B. smithi we just got in at work im considering bringing home....;)(also considering a cobalt blue too) My husband was terrified of spiders when we first met, but now he holds my young rosehair. :) I used to have a bunch of these guys too, years ago, cuz theyre just so awesome:

Also.... fun with bottle caps and a very patient G rosea the other day. A family found this rosea in their house, a month after moving in, cruising around in their closet :)

So difficult not to just try and buy every tarantula I come across x.x So many I still want!

What species is that?

Feel free to post some pics of your rosea :)
Thanks for sharing.
