Keeping Tarantulas KEEPING TARANTULAS The Tarantula, or Theraphosidae to name it correctly, is one of the easiest animals to keep in captivity. Of course, this does not mean that it can look after itself, but that the conditions needed are within the resources of most people. This fact sheet aims to provide a brief account on keeping tarantulas, but it is important to obtain as much information as possible by reading further literature (see the Society's List of Recommended Publications). HOUSING The size of tank is dependent on the size of tarantula, but a good size is 12 in (30 cm) long by 10 in (25 cm) wide by 8 in (20 cm) tall. Glass tanks are readily available and can be built to your own specifications. It is possible to construct your own tank using pre-cut glass and gluing it with an aquarium silicone sealer. This has the advantage that the tank can be purpose-built, especially if the spider is one of the tree-dwelling (arboreal) tarantulas, which need more height than ground space. It is important that all tanks have a close-fitting lid. HEATING As most tarantulas are from tropical climates, you will find that some form of heating will be required at some time. A minimum temperature of 68degF should be maintained, although, as a general rule, a temperature of 70degF to 75degF should be aimed for. The majority of centrally-heated houses are warm enough for most of the year, but a heating system should be installed during the winter.

Information on tarantulas Learn more information on tarantulas; big, hairy, frightening spiders. Tarantulas are, in a nutshell, very big spiders. While many people are afraid of them due to portrayals in horror films and Halloween shops, they are actually interesting, mild creatures. Some are even kept as pets! Tarantulas belong to the Phylum Arthropeda, the sub-phylum Chelicerata, and the class Arachnida, or "arachnoids," as spider are often referred to. They are found worldwide, but by nature they tend towards dry, sunny areas. For this reason, they are often found in Arizona, California, and many parts of South America frequently. Tarantulas can be as small as 1 1/2 inches, or as large as 5 inches across. Their coloring is usually black, but it can occasionally include hints of blue, green and red. There are more than 8oo species of this insect. Tarantulas are usually differentiated from other spiders by their diet and living habits. They do not spin webs, like other spiders do. Instead, they often catch their prey by running on their giant legs. bodyOffer(29455) Tarantulas are covered with hair, and can sometimes make a rasping or hissing noise by rubbing their legs together. They actually, on occasion, use their hair as a weapon. There is a characteristic bald spot on the abdomen of many tarantula, brought on by rubbing hair into an enemy's eyes to blind them. As in many horror movies, they have fangs on their abdomen that lead to a set of lungs. These are used to stun and poison enemies. Tarantulas also have eight eyes: two in the middle of the face and three on each side of their head! In this respect, they are pretty scary for the unprepared viewer.

Sign up now for the subscriber materials! Tarantulas Originally, the word "tarantula" was the name of a specific species of wolf spiders called the Lycosa tarantula. People were scared of this spider, because they believed unfoundedly that it spread the disease "tarantism" in southern Europe. The illness, thought to be inflicted by tarantulas' bites, was first recorded in medical journals in the 14th century. Tarantism reached its peak in the 17th century. According to the local belief, the only cure was to dance to certain music tarantella for days or even weeks. Nowadays, the word "tarantula" has taken on a new meaning to include not only Lycosa tarantula of the Lycosidae family, but also members of several different spider families (such as the Theraphosidae, the Dipluridae, the Atypidae, and the Hexathelidae.) Hence, there are more than 850 different species of tarantulas under this broader definition.

The Goliath Bird-Eating Tarantula is aptly, yet somewhat misleadingly named. Yes, they are "Goliaths" being the largest spider in the world, but they are not bird-eaters - this moniker has stuck since Victorian times when explorers spoke of tarantulas eating humming birds. Found in northern South America, these tarantulas are so revered that many locals worship them (though its said that they occasionally eat them, as well).

Their Own Self FRED Columns Feminist Tarantulas A Rural Male Reflects On Feminist Incivility, While Calculating Windage Maybe I'm just a country boy at heart, and lack sophistication, and don't see things the way I should. But when I watch one of those radical-feminist women heave onto a podium, like the forehaunches of an under-nourished giraffe but with more hair on her lip, and start hollering and carrying on about what slugs and bandits men are, I start thinking of the curative powers of a shotgun full of rock salt. I recommend a 12-gauge duck gun. It's the incivility of these feminist people that gets to me. Most of them seem to have the manners of a guard dog , but without the utility. (I know, I know, I'm going to get angry letters. From guard dogs.) For pure bile, you can't beat a radical feminist. The average specimen can turn out bad temper for hours on end, like lumber from a sawmill, and any of it sounds like all the rest. The following, which gives the flavor, is from Andrea Dworkin, who I gather is a sort of museum-piece siege howitzer for feminism. It's pretty much how they all talk. Listen:

This imposing appearance has caused many myths about tarantulas, including the completely unfounded rumor that they are dangerous or even deadly to humans. They do have a weak venom, but it is much weaker than a bee for example. They are actually quite gentle and only bite humans if they feel menaced. Their venom is not meant to protect them from enemies. Instead tarantulas kill victims that disturb their web by catching them with its legs and killing it with fangs and injecting venom. After death a digestive fluid is vomited onto the animal, and this in conjunction with the venom dissolves the soft parts. This tasty broth is then sucked down by the tarantula.

97. Tarantulas - Information tarantulas live in most warm climates throughout the world. tarantulas require a minimum of maintenance and they are inexpensive to keep. http://www.giveusahome.co.uk/reptiles/tarantulas.htm

Tarantulas live in most warm climates throughout the world. They have a fairly long life span, a few have lived in captivity for nearly 30 years. They are often falsely accused of being dangerous, if one does bite a human, the reaction would be similar to that of a bee sting. Certain species have been found to have a potent poison, however they seem to lack the ability to deliver it, at least to humans. Tarantulas require a minimum of maintenance and they are inexpensive to keep. The tank they are kept in should be large enough for them to turn over when they are preparing to molt. The base should be at least twice as wide as the tarantula and twice as long. The height should not be taller than twice its leg span, they do climb occasionally and falling on a sharp object could tear the thin membrane on its abdomen. If you have a burrow-dwelling species, then something should be placed in the cage so they can hide under it. Although some tarantulas can survive for long periods of time without food and water, this should not happen in captivity. They should have a constant supply if they are to remain healthy.
