They should post pics like that around the spiders in pet stores since people seem so inclined to play with them regardless of warnings.

Nice pic,

I have about 5 sets of those lying around the house from my old redknee (

) but could never figure out anything I could use them for.

OK, you got me to bite...

Why exactly is the mouth detached from the rest of the T? Obviously I don't know much about them, but now I am curious.

Well tarantulas molt their exoskeleton, kinda like a snake sheds its skin. SO i just removed the fangs from the molt.

Very cool! I knew they molted, but I didn't know the fangs were replaced too....I guess it makes sense now that I think about it.
