That is awesome, i want one too, and i live in Australia, btw did u catch her?

[madamoisele1]

@yomancaster No wild tarantulas where I live - it's too cold in the winter in this part of Florida for them to survive. All mine are purchased.

Where'd you get those arboreal tanks like the one your avic avic are in

[madamoisele1]

@Ameth0814 There's a local pet store close to where I work that briefly had that model of tank in their store last year - for $20!! Believe it or not - I thought they were under priced for sure, so I picked up all they had.  Apparently the supplier stopped making them and they couldn't get any more in, is what I was told. I believe it was from Southland Reptiles. Should be able to find it on a google search if they're still available.

I'm thinking of getting a Brachypelma smithii..... one day. :)

[madamoisele1]

@larshermanns They're completely awesome in every way. One of my favorites for the beauty plus docility levels.

Cool tarantulas, I got a Rose Hair Tarantula about three weeks ago and she's been very gentle, I got videos of her on here. I'm about to put another one on here later on this week that I made last night of her eating a cricket, I had to fight with the cricket for about three minutes before he got close enough to her to catch him. But, she's the only tarantula I'll have for right now, but I'm planning on getting a mexican redknee to add to my collection later on.

[diesel094]

@GalaxyTrigger82 Does it hurt when it bites?! What happens?

[Tandereeno]

How much could I get a brachypelma Smithi for here in the UK?

[GalaxyTrigger82]

@LittleMissKeshia they can bite but all the species she showed in her video all have very low temperants. you shouldnt handle the spider too much but if you were all these are great spiders. very low maintenance also.

[LittleMissKeshia]

I love Tarantula's I've always wondered how safe they are as a pet..Dont they bite?

[diesel094]

I've always been afraid as fuck of spiders, but I realy want a tarantula, it's fucking wierd, but you saying that they can bite you?? Does it hurt??

[WHIZZYWUZZA]

are they fast moving type of spiders and if they bite you does it hurt?

[vfIskullangel]
