Haha I bet! I'd hate to get those hairs in my eyes, now that would be painful.

I've done that and yes, I really really hurts It felt like a needle in my eye for over a week!

Have you ever seen RobC's videos on youtube?
Search under tarantulaguy1976 (that's his user name). He has a bunch of Ts that he breeds and he's absolutely hilarious to watch. Plus his love and enthusiasm for Ts has gotten me over my fear of them. I now find the variety of colors beautiful. Maybe I'll get one someday

I saw a couple videos and man he has some beautiful tarantulas!! Zilla is amazing, I'd love to handle a spider that big.

Honestly, I never thought I'd own one. I never thought anything bad of them and I wasn't scared to hold my first one at the reptile expo. She was a 7 year old Curly Hair Tarantula and was extremely calm. Probably a good 5 inches too.

I got my A. Avicularia (pink toe) from my friend and she's still a little spiderling. She is very cute and gets calmer each time I handle her. Avicularia seem to be pretty fast spiders but they are gorgeous. You'll probably see in the near future that I own 4+ tarantulas, but I'm trying not to get too many. I'd love to have a Rosehair and Mexican RedKnee!

I currently keep a few Tarantulas and I actually think I'll be getting more shortly. They really are a pleasure to keep, even if most of the ones I keep are pet holes.

My Tarantulas include:
A. chalcodes (Arizona Blonde)
B. boehmei (Mexican Fire Leg)
C. fasciatum (Costa Rican Tiger Rump)
N. Chromatus (Brazilian Red and White)
B. auratum (Mexican Flame Knee)
P. Irminia (Venezuelan Suntiger)
A. versicolor (Antilles Pinktoe or Martinique Pinktoe)
T. gigas (Orange Tree Spider)
C. fimbriatus (Indian Violet)
L. violaceope (Singapore blue)
G. pulchra (Brazilian Black)

A few photos. I need new pictures of most of them.

Michelle they are gorgeous! I'd love to see more photos, you've got some nice tarantulas there!

Which one do you like handling the most?

Well, most of my Tarantulas are a bit too aggressive/fast to handle, but even if they weren't, I don't like handling my Tarantulas. They are actually a lot more fragile than most people believe. A fall as short as 10" (and maybe less), can kill them. Not to mention with the quick species, they can run off and be lost forever. I consider them "look but don't touch" pets.

My Favorite Tarantula is my C. fimbriatus though. They make the neatest webbing.

This is just a funny pic I thought I would share. It made me laugh pretty hard so maybe it will make some of you who have not seen it laugh too. It was from an older post I had. It is a pic of a male G. pulchra molt under a microscope that I had. And Derek (dr del) gave him a belly ring

My one and only Grammostola rosea (Gramastola spatulata?) ...but I have a feeling that this is going to be addictive, the price, the fairly simple needs, and they are totaly awesome even for people that are scared of spiders. I love my hairy little friend already
