Spiders seriously creep me out. The bigger the spider, the creepier.

I just adopted 2 pink-toed tarantulas.

I'm teaching a kids' class starting Monday about animals. When I walked into Petco this afternoon there were two tanks on the front counter with "Free to good home" signs. Apparently someone dropped them off. They have really nice 10 gallon naturalistic terrariums.

I'll take them into the classroom and send them home with someone who knows exactly what they're getting into and will appreciate them. If they don't find a home in 3 weeks I'll drive them to the reptile specialty shop an hour away and let them rehome them.

So I have until Monday to become an expert on pink toes. Where to begin?
