Have you ever dreamt of a big golden hairy spider with a medically significant venom? I’m sure you did, and lucky for you, tarantulas have got you covered.
Enough cookies for this guy? An effective scavenger but not yet a hunter. He refuses living food and only takes lifeless roaches when no-one is watching him.
Our Phormictopus sling has now shifted from a blue coloration to bronze. Ever since I saw a picture of an adult sp. Dominican Purple, I knew we needed it in our collection. So far, she is full of surprises and does not want to show her true colors yet. We can wait. No problem. Tarantulas teach people patience without a doubt.
Not so long ago, I would have said, “I will never pay so much for a spider.” That was true until we saw this beauty at a reptile expo nearby. It was the biggest, gorgeous looking, absolutely stunning pink spider with white hairs on a deeply black abdomen. I’ve never seen anything like this before in my entire life.
A young beautiful blue spider with orange hairs and some of the most unique color gradients I’ve seen in nature. She (I hope it’s a she) is growing quickly and hopefully soon will become less skittish, so I can take more pictures of her.
I remember the feeling when I got the first one. I was anticipating it so much, that I couldn’t even sleep well that day. Can this… thing be a good pet? Will I like it? Is it dangerous? Great times.
