  Spiders XD They're pretty . Hubby's stepfather has a cobalt blue tarantula, but they don't handle it. I've though about getting a tarantula before, but ze hubby isn't fond of them. The ratties and the rabbit are pretty cute too :P

  How do you sex spiders? Just wait til they lay a sack or actually look for genitalia? <br><br>Sorry for the questions but I am an Animal and Dairy Sciences major. My school doesnt teach much about arachnids, amphibians, or reptiles and I'm quite curious by them.

  Terrence looks exactly like my boy Paka. Except Paka is probably five times bigger. xD He's fat. I'm in love with Eli. So beautiful. The spiders are gorgeous too. I own an Emperor and a few bark scorpions. Gotta love the creepy crawlies. O.o

  Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD

  <br><br>Hubbys mom bought it, after her husbands last tarantula died... I'm not sure what type the last one was. I have considered trying to handle it, as it doesn't seem to be particularly aggressive and, while I know a non dry bite will probably hurt pretty badly, I'm not particularly put off by the possibility. I'd be more worried about uriticating hairs than the venom, but I know cobalts don't have them. Biggest reason I haven't is that she? (I think it's a female, can't remember) is in her log most of the time, and if I'm going to touch her I don't want to scare her by digging around in there. The other is that I wouldn't want to risk injuring her, especially since she isn't mine.
