Tarantulas Nowadays, the name 'tarantula' is applied to the very large, hairy spiders that belong to the family Theraphosidae. Originally, the name was given to a much smaller wolf spider from Taranto in Italy where, in the Middle Ages, they used to dance the 'tarantella' to purge the effects of spiders' bites. The large hairy tarantulas have also been called 'bird-eating spiders' but this Victorian term is somewhat misleading. The diet of the average tarantula consists of insects ranging from ants to large crickets and cockroaches, and small vertebrates such as lizards, frogs, mice and occasionally small snakes. Only rarely do they eat birds. Identification More than 600 species of tarantulas are known from tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The coloration of most is typically black or brown but some species are beautifully marked. Worthy of mention are the Poecilotheria species of southern India and Sri Lanka which have bright yellow on the first four legs; also the

Here are my views on the responsibilities and hazards of keeping tarantulas, along with some options in purchasing them. Responsibilities Hazards Choosing Your Pet Recommended Species ... Recommended Reading Responsibilities: Hazards: First, tarantulas are wild animals, not long domesticated pets. For example, I have 6 year old tarantulas that I have reared since they were in the egg sac. They have always been in captivity in cages in my office. I have always been gentle, slow moving, and treated them with care. But the species is active, aggressive, and fast. I would never even consider attempting to handle one - they have 3/4" fangs and a feisty nature! If I have to move my spiders to a new cage, I gently push them with long forceps, have capture cups nearby, and I am always cautious. Even calm species that are considered 'handleable' can get aggressive if they feel threatened. The other hazard of having tarantulas, instead of araneomorph spiders (like jumping spiders or orb weavers), is that they cost real money and there is no guarantee that they will survive. Recognize that your animal may not survive for a number of reasons: normal mortality while moulting, some spiders never thrive (especially spiderlings), your learning curve, cricket predation, or roommates who leave cages open... With care and good fortune, your tarantula will live for years, but it does not always happen that way.

@import url("/stylesheets/spiders_adv.css"); Tarantulas - the truth behind their evil image Tarantulas are the movie stars of the spider world. They are cast in films when things hairy, scary and deadly are needed. But despite their appearance and reputation, bites from these spiders usually cause little harm. So how did they get such a bad reputation? The Tarantula story starts way back In 1370, in a small town called Taranto in southern Italy a strange and mysterious epidemic broke out for which the only cure seemed to be wild dancing and music. Occurring every summer for three hundred years, this disease was thought to be caused by the bite of a large, hairy Wolf Spider ( Lycosa tarantula ), which became known as a Tarantula. In the 1600s, people discovered that these spiders were virtually harmless. Many then concluded that the whole phenomenon of Tarantism was simply an excuse far a wild party. However, it is now suspected that a spider was involved and the real culprit was a European relative of the Redback or Widow Spider. As Europeans colonised the world, they saw even bigger and hairier spiders, and called them Tarantulas too. As a result, many large and hairy spiders are now commonly, but incorrectly, called Tarantulas. The only true Tarantulas are the large spiders of the family Theraphosidae. Some examples of spiders from this family include:

These very large, brown, hairy, brush-footed, mygalomorph spiders are often called Whistling Spiders, on account of their ability to produce a humming or whirring noise. Both males and females do this by rubbing together modified bristles and ridges on the sides of the mouthparts. The sound may act as a deterrent to predators that enter the spider's burrow or attempt to dig it out. Another common name is the bird-eating spider, an inappropriate name. In rainforest habitats these spiders are sometimes found in trees, where nestling birds could form a part of their diet Most build deep ground burrows and feed mainly on arthropods (especially insects), but they will readily take frogs and lizards as well. As a group the tarantulas are confined to the warmer, semi-arid to tropical regions of the world. In Australia, they are mainly found in the northern half of the continent. The best known species are Selenocosmia crassipes , found in forest and savanna habitats across northern Australia; and

Westside Spidermania! Read and Find out about: the Brown Recluse the Black Widow the Wolf Spider the Red Spotted Crab the Tarantula the Trap Door Spider the Spitting Spider Brown Recluse The Brown Recluse is a small spider that is only about 1 inch in size. These spiders have six eyes in groups of two. Each legs has 2 tiny claws at the end. The Brown Recluse is known for its poisonous venom. They usually only bite people when they are disturbed. The bite makes a crusty scab with red all around the bite. The crust falls off, leaving a red hole that does not heal for several months. The Brown Recluse spins small, loose webs to catch its prey. They are called trapper spiders. These spiders feed on small insects. The webs can be found under bark and stones. They can be found in sheltered corners outside of houses. Indoors, they can be found behind furniture and on the floor. The Brown Recluse makes an egg sac that stays in the web all winter, and is guarded by the female until she dies. Spiderlings come out of the egg sac in the spring. Black Widow The Black Widow spider is known for its poisonous venom and the red hourglass on its abdomen. The female is black with the red hourglass on the underside of her abdomen. The male does not have the red hourglass, it has white and red markings on its side. The male has much longer legs than the female. The spiderlings (babies) are orange, brown, and white. They slowly become black every time they molt.

A Significant One-of-A-Kind Study TARANTULAS OF BELIZE by Steven B. Reichling Tarantulas of Belize is a comprehensive overview of all species occurring in this beautiful Central American country. It is both a reference book and a field guide which brings together everything currently known about the tarantulas of the region. Chapters cover ecology, habitats, identification (including a key), how to find them, conservation and ethical issues, along with a detailed profile, distribution map, and color photograph for every species. An up-to-date reference that presents the tarantulas in the wild, this book is a must for professionals, hobbyists, and naturalists. Steven B. Reichling is Curator of Reptiles at the Memphis Zoo, and manages the Zoo's native butterfly exhibit. Although heavily involved in the captive management of reptiles and amphibians, he also pursues ecological studies in the field, leading him on numerous trips to Central America and the Lesser Antilles. In addition to being a professional herpetologist, he is intensely interested in tarantulas and has been studying them in Belize for many years. He received his PhD from the University of Memphis after studying the relationship between maternal care by tarantulas and phenotypic plasticity in the spiderlings.
