Tarantulas and Spiders

[Herpenthusiast3]

arent you afraid it will bite you at all? LOL

I'm sure it will eventually happen due to some fault of my own but that doesn't detour me from appreciating an animal who I can handle so long as I keep in mind the true nature of the animal itself. Im not as brave as some tarantula keepers. I try and keep only more docile species. Although once I have more experience there are a few more unruly species that I have my eye on. I'm just fascinated by them. :/

Similar to a wasp sting. Although I've never been bitten. Just done research.

It can can anywhere from a bee sting to throwing up with muscle cramps for a few days to a week or more.

I should have been more clear. The 2
Different species of tarantulas
I own have bites like wasp stings (brachypelma vagans and grammastola pulcha) but there are species that can give you a terrible bite that makes you feel like absolute crap. As mentioned above. So since I said "like a wasp sting" do NOT go out and buy any tarantula. Some of them are down right mean with a nasty bite. thanks for correcting. Don't want people buying up trapdoor spiders!

Gladicosa pulchra update.

Her babies are starting to leave her back. There are babies floating around my T room.
You can spot one here. Very tiny.

Getting them set up.


Looks like ill have to get some fruit flys
Hate messing with them.

So they are not Spiders or Ts but ill add them here.
Took the dogs for a walk today.
Found all kinds of cool stuff.

First up, a ton of millipedes.
Abacion genus.




I'm really getting into millipedes.

This huge grub. Maybe a June bug


Some awesome little snails for my native tank.


My girlfriend found these eggs.

We think these are frogs.


And these are salamanders.


We are going to try and hatch them out.

I keep finding more wolf spiders up to around 20 babies now. She has a few more on her back.

Ive always tried to keep a few T's around, cuz they're just so fascinating, easy to keep, and don't take up but the tiniest of spaces . Currently I only have a 3 year old G.rosea, and two stripe tail scorpions, but there is an adorable baby B. smithi we just got in at work im considering bringing home....(also considering a cobalt blue too) My husband was terrified of spiders when we first met, but now he holds my young rosehair. I used to have a bunch of these guys too, years ago, cuz theyre just so awesome:

Had my T ockerti out today, and no hair flicks (a rarity)!



Also.... fun with bottle caps and a very patient G rosea the other day. A family found this rosea in their house, a month after moving in, cruising around in their closet





So difficult not to just try and buy every tarantula I come across x.x So many I still want!

What species is that?

Feel free to post some pics of your rosea
Thanks for sharing.
