Man, you'll go for anything. . I would go for just about any animal/reptile, but very few insects. Specially spiders.

Awe c'mon! What species???

I've got Chaco gold knees and Brazilian Blacks. Grammostola pulchripes and Grammostola pulchra.

Ive been wanting one. I think they are really cool.

They all have their good and bad points. I find the Grammostola genus to have the fewest bad, and most good points. Brachypelma is pretty good too.

 

[sissyofone]

Do you raise them Tom or just keep them as pets?

I buy babies and raise them. I have not bred them yet, but planing on it soon.

Lol..Its usually us wives that wouldnt go for it. But i think they are too cool.

I had them growing up. I had a rose hair that was grown when I got her and I kept her for 7 years. I also had striped knee and pink toes. The rose hair was my favorite. She was a sweetheart. Well... As tarantulas go she was sweet. Did I mention I am terrified of spiders.

Nice! They are awesome slings. I love mine. Docile, they don't flick hairs, they eat good, pretty, etc...

This will be a great experience for the kids. Read up on how to feed and how they molt, etc. Don't leave crickets in there. Don't touch them if you find it upside down, give it a water source, etc...

Here is a better pic of the baby.

Tom, the kids are excited to watch her grow. I only have one that swears she will smash it (that won't even go near it's enclosure to do so).

No worries, she won't get smashed, it's just an idle threat.

 

[Tom]

Great pic! It's so fun to watch them grow and develop. Keep us posted as the molts happen!

 

[ShellyTurtlesCats]

Two spiders today or, at least the kids thought so!

Cool spider

 

[Tom]

I always leave my sheds sitting out next to the enclosure. Freaks everybody out!

Give him about 3-4 days before offering food again.
