I wonder why. My brother had one that looked like that. Always creeped me out. What does it eat?

 

[reefkprz]

crickets, meal worms, wax worms and the occasional pinky mouse.

 

[team2jndd]

nooooo not the pinky mouse. lol i always feel the worst for them. thats why I never bought a snake. I always liked them but couldn't do it.

 

[poniegirl]

I've heard they are very long lived..how old is this one?
Not a spider person, myself, though I have held one that belongs to the son of a friend. Very odd feeling.

spiders r the only bugs worth bothering about. ....because they eat other bugs! :cheer:

Last night my cat was making some funny noises and I went over to check on her and she was playing with a spider. She hit it and hundreds of tiny spiders jumped off of the big spider. I don't mind spiders, but I steer clear when I see one, but this freaked me out. I felt as if I had spiders on me the rest of the night. In Fla we've got some crazy spiders but nothing as big as that tranch. Looks good.

 

[reefforbrains]

Reef- so when are going to actually start charging admission to your home?
isnt this now the 37th habitat?

Cool! My friend had a tarantula when I was younger -- it was so friendly. She'd crawl up and down their arms and just chill on their shoulders.
