    Broke down and got crickets for my rose, he went immediately for it. That was cool to watch.

    Why broke down? What were you feeding?

    I started breeding meal worms and dubia, so was trying to get him to eat those. He wouldn't. So I have noticed some abdomen size decrease, which prompted me to try crickets. That was the trick lol.

    The pics on here are awesome! I've always wanted to get a Tarantula, but the female of the house would never let me hear the end of it. Great pics!

    Why is that? I've found that if you approach the subject with a rational argument and plenty of facts, they cave pretty quickly.

    Pros to owning a tarantula:
    Takes up minimal space
    comes in a variety of colors options
    No smell or noise
    Water and feed them once a week. Once they get a bit of size you can feed them as infrequently as once a month and that's perfectly Ok for a lot of species.

    Cons:
    Idk...? I can't think of a valid reason why EVERYONE doesn't own at least one T. They're just so cool and it's fun to educate people when you tell them you have one!

    I can remember watching home alone and the kid with the T. It was either that or Pokémon that made me want exotics.
