Re: Several Different Pictures of Tarantulas
Not all tarantulas are able to jump but if you are holding one that can and you're just standing up holding it, then you probably have nothing to worry about.. it's the non-jumpers, the terrestrials you have to be cautious with because yes, they can rupture very easily as they really fragile creatures. You're best bet is to hold them low to the ground or let them walk on the floor (well supervised, of course). I LOVE reptiles, though, I wish I was able to care for them right now, I'd have a few of my own. Mantises are great, though! |

Re: Several Different Pictures of Tarantulas
I only have a leopard gecko now, but in the past I had a king snake and a Yemen chameleon. There may be a Kenyan sand boa in my future :) but I'm waiting until my boyfriend's birthday in October. We always by each other gifts we both want lol. Can you recommend me a tarantula breed then? I really would love to get to know one. |

Re: Several Different Pictures of Tarantulas
Nice!! I'll have to look up the sand boa and the chameleon.. I do love chameleons, though, I think they're adorable.  Kudos on finding a boyfriend into exotic animals.  And as far as recommendations, given your history with reptiles, you could probably handle the speed of a beginner's arboreal tarantula (they're the ones you don't have to worry about falling and then rupturing :)).. reptiles are more high maintenance than arachnids so most beginner and intermediate spiders will probably be a piece of cake for you so long as you research their basic needs. I can get you a few caresheets to look at or you can always PM me if you ever have any questions, but try looking into the Avicularia genus of tarantula.. Avicularia avicularia (common pinktoe) and Avicularia versicolor (Antilles pinktoe) are the most easy to find and they're cheap, but you really cannot go wrong with any pinktoe. They're lively, docile creatures who very rarely ever bite. |

Re: Several Different Pictures of Tarantulas
I currently work in an exotic pet store while going to college. My main job is the reptiles and tarantulas. I have a mexican red knee i got my mom a versicolor. I LOVE tarantulas!! Really pretty. Fyi awesome pictures. Is the green bottle blue yours? Are you breeding? Same question for the blue babboon.
