    Since I brought back that older post on Tarantulas, members should check out the website 'ZooBorns'. There are some baby Antilles Pink-toed Bird-eating tarantulas.

    Here's the link about them: http://www.zooborns.com/

    When we had the pet stores I would go to the wholesalers and hand pick the Tarantula that I wanted to buy. I would look for the female protecting her nest. Of course we wouldn't sell her but let her hatch the babies and let the public watch. They would eat each other so we had to separate them. So we would put them in solo cups with a wet sponge and pinhead crickets. We grew them up and sold them. It was fun and the babies were nice and healthy for the families.

    We always said they would live 9 years or so but my friend got one of the babies and it is now living in Florida and it is now 19 years old. That is cool even though they give me the creeps......

    Say what? You raised Tarantulas? Are you nuts or sane like me.

    Did you catch what the author said in that link. I love it. "fluffy blue baby tarantulas." Show me a fluffy blue spider and I'll show you a true blue daylily".
