Nice pet Jimmy.

Ewwwwwwwwww... I guess it's safe. Still freaky if you ask me.

Creepy crawlers... safe to hold ba? :Grin:

whoa!!!:Shock: scared of BIG SPIDERS!

i guess it's safe naman kasi nakakapag online pa siya e.. hehe..

wouldn't want that as a pet but i think it's cool to have one of those.. lalu na pag may kinaiinisan ka... hehe.

does that grow any bigger o full size na nya yan? i know some of those can grow as big as plate. now that's scary..

Yikes. Hope it doesn't bite. :D

OMG, anything but spiders!!! Nice subject for Macro though.

wow...now where is the macro lens?

ruel

nice pet jimmy

hi jimmy, i want to have one for my son. where did you buy it?
we got a juvenile tarantula from subic butterfly house last week but its still too small ( as big as a thumb pa).

thanks guys...

save naman sya.. this is what they called chilean rose tarantula. it can grow up to 13-15 cm. female tarantula can live up to 15 yr and male tarantula can live for 3 yr. i still dont no the sex of my tarantula, but i hope its female. its diet is just 6 cricket every two weeks. this is a very calm and slow moving tarantula compare to hundred type of tarantula.. a good for start for a new pet.
you can watch this video for some info http://www.biocrawler.com/videos/displayimage.php?album=9&pos=0
but remember almost all tarantula has a venom.. but no one died or cut his limb just for a bite of tarantulas.. they said its like a bee sting that can make your skin swell. sana nde ako makagat.. hehehe

here some of my new photo..

@Jimmy

How long do tarantulas live? Aren't they dangerous? Just curious...
