Have you ever been bit? I'm going to be new to spiders. i'm a snake guy now. i was always interested in exoctic pets. Do you think they would be a good first spider? About how much do they cost. Can they really eat birds? thats a silly question, but would like to know. The only thing is my girlfriend has really bad allergic skin reactions, that is y im scared of the hairs. Do you know anything about the colbalt blue? Its going to be between those two more then likely. thank you
