Chilean rose tarantula: Rusty

[reid41591]

my rose hair is the same way so tame its crazy she lets me pick her up and do whatever i try not to unless i have to tho

[harleystatham]

shes beautiful <3

[Matthewblake30]

I was thinking of getting a Chilean rose but I have some concerns. I understand that being a tarantula they will be venomous but for the most part are they pretty well tamed pets? Are they high maintenance? I get everything on the living conditions as I have been so excited about getting one I have read about them nonstop but I keep getting various different answers on feeding them as well.

[EpicMoz]

@Matthewblake30 Nah they're actually really easy to care for. you may already have it by now but if you want a spider i'd really suggest a Chilean Rose. theyre very docile and calm, meaning they wont run like hell if u try to pick em up. They also eat maybe once or twice a week. I have one and i've had her almost 6 years now :)

[JiaoJiaoSon]

I just bought a new Chilean :D

[Breathor]

hahaha :38 THATS MY A KEY! >:O

[Darkaxe92]

usually you wouldnt catch me dead even thinkin of touchin anythin with 8 legs but i actually want a chilean rose

[postie2003]

My cousin has had a female rose for about six years. Very mellow and docile. She's handled most days, and has never bitten or flicked hairs. Most are pretty relaxed, although you do get the odd one with an attitude, much like people really. They are such beautiful creatures though. I love the way they move.

[MacabreMarissa]

They're such beautiful creatures! I can't wait to own one soon!<3

[N33rDow3ll1998]

How much were they? And when you buy them at a pet store, does the cage come with it?

[FIlmFactor101]

i have one, but im afriad to handle it cause i dont want the fucker to bite me. 

[harrycallighan]

@FIlmFactor101 chilean rose spiders are like the most docile spider, ive had one of theese on my face and shoulder and hair, dont worry about them they will never bite you, and u will know if they are angry or scared because they will raise there front legs into its striking position.

[iratezombiemann]

She's adorable, my tarantula loves my keyboard too.

[Sanaeenfermeria]

Lovely :)

[8soccer4life8]

[playwithme30]

[pickldcucumbers]

trippy, i have the same breed of tarantula AND laptop

[powersticker]

Lol he's just like "Nah, I don't think I need to go on facebook. Dude please can I chill on your leg again"

[shag916]

[1989Heva]

hey i purchased a female chilean rose a month ago and she was really coppery when i first got her but now shes gone a dull brown colour and is really moody and wont come out of her tank like she did the first night we had her... the pet shop said she molted 3 months ago is it possible shes due another?

[Staratino]

These beauties are so misunderstood it beggars belief.

I'm not talking about any comments here, just in general. Absolutely beautiful.

[Flakygal]

awww she is lovely :D

My tarantula loves the warmth of my laptop too, she's always sitting on the edge when im working <3

[playwithme30]

@Flakygal aww thats so cute lol

[ryanandblake77]

@playwithme30 thats what i say about mine but nobody thinks so. :(

[playwithme30]

@ryanandblake77 haha well the owner knows his pet the best :) i dont even have a spider but i want one again :(

[ryanandblake77]

@playwithme30 i bet you will be able to get one soon enough. you should get a mexican red knee. they are nice and pretty, but i have a chilean rose hair

[playwithme30]

@ryanandblake77 yea hopefully my mom hates them so it takes time haha

[ryanandblake77]

@playwithme30 my mom thinks spiders are nasty but she let me get one because she knew i really wanted it and that just goes to show that anything could happen. and how could she hate them when they are helping the world?

[playwithme30]

@playwithme30 haha umm thanks lol :)

[picassonava]

jajaja no te quiere!

[poppicat]

My friend got a Chilean Rose about a month ago.She hasnt eaten yet is that noraml?? How often do they eat? she is 3 years old.

[ChileanRoseT]

@poppicat this is my alternate account - don't panic if they don't feed, sometimes they go months without.

I feed rusty once a week, she only has 7 crickets.

and every month she gets one pinky.

[lmfaoatjustinbieber]

he wants to go on facebook.lol

[kara123h]

[MEandME266]

Nice tarantula !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you have the same computer as i do lol

[dakodaav11]

my T was just doing that =P

[CommanderCort]

I love mine, she lets me handle her and we have a good bond, but if anyone else tries to pick her up or handle her she rears up at them....I guess I trained her well lol

[Reptilesandfish]

lmao shes surfing the web haha pun intended

[blunklaura]

well,maybe she had an important email to send !

She's a beauty :)

[TOTHC63609]

no dont annoy the tarantula if it doesnt want to go onto your hand just let it be. these r very friendly spiders and are the ideal spiders to have for pets but they only bite if they feel threatened

[KennethNFS4]

aww, rusty looks adorable while watching you type

[GrandLineSurfer]

Interesting Name, Rusty^^. Is it just a Name, or is there somthing special behind?

[justinkinstle]

Haha, I have the same laptop and T as you. Mine's young, only maybe a year. Mine is really active though, wish I could handle him as well as you can yours. Any suggestions?

[sdjbgfdg]

He spends most of his time at the very top of

his cage at night,

But at the bottem in the mornings.

[RyuuzakiSama]

My Rose is younger than yours but she is just as docile and easily handled, but she hasn't shed her skin for nearly a whole year, and like i said she is young...you ever had any problems like that?

[jjjbird]

Your tarantula is young and some of them shed at different rates, so don't worry she will in time. =)

My tarantula sheds around once every 4 months, but she is around 2 years old.

She'll shed in time. =)

[Ripstickerz]
