Thank goodness you put "Tarantuas" in the title, I only had to open it enough to reply.......urrrrrgggghhhh....

I'm having a really hard time working out the Ceratogyrus marshalli picture.... unicorn spider?? shark fin??


Just googled it... OH GAWD IT IS A UNICORN SPIDER

Yes my beautiful unicorn

She is easily my favourite T, without a doubt

Jeeeesus Chriiiiiiiiist do you share your house with those???? OMG, and why???!!!! I soooo wish I hadn't come in here now but curiosity got the better of me, and I'm outta here quick

Please make sure you keep them locked up cos we don't want them escaping and breeding with the natives we have here, otherwise, I'll have to emigrate!

Well I like them! Have they got names?

Yes, they are all in my bedroom, on a bookshelf next to my bed. You have to admit they are interesting creatures

I used to name them all but recently I have only been naming a few. My C.meridionalis that I got this morning I have named Merida but the P.lugardi I got this morning hasnt been named You can have the honour of naming it if you want?

He looks like a Nigel to me.

Having been bitten by a particularly dangerous spider, these do not appeal to me.

However I don't like ,seeing any animals living their life in confinement, not even budgies, I feel a bit sorry for these arachnids living in glass boxes.
