    Well, the wife caved in, (mainly because I will have a dedicated snake/spider room in the new house) and I got a new tarantula today. Picked up an acanthoscurria geniculata at my local reptile shop today for $20. Here is a page of pics of what it will look like grown, and here is a pic of it now, eating a pinhead cricket:

    Thats way cool Randy! Looks kinda creepy now, but it will be pretty when it is an adult.

    It's not one to handle, from what I've read.
    Most caresheets say that if you put something in their cage, they will try to eat it (fingers included!) Sounds like a retic feeding response! They are supposed to make a great display animal, though.
