Not for Arachnophobes

My other pets

Quite recently got into the hobby of tarantulas.

Here's the grammostola pulchripes, just after a moult

Nice.I've always wanted to get a goliath bird eater.

Nope!
Lol

Here are a few I found hiding in my woodpile... They're the reason I now say "Any spider is too big. If it can fall off a piece of wood and make a thud, it's WAY too big." Best guess is they're male and female vagrant spiders.

Cool TwoHedWlf why not make a set up for them?

Saw a wild tarantula yesterday!

I've had a Goliath Bird Eater , Ornamental Rainforest and a few different Baboons. Never kept one that was able to be handled, seems creepy.

Don't have a baboon, we have 7 species of poecilotheria in India, the city where I live is the place for the p. Striata. So as per law can't keep any of them as well.

Do anyone handle a baboon???
Most keepers are afraid to handle a baboon.

How big were these, we have a few hunstman that get 4", buggers like the damp bathrooms at our estate.

How's that law work?

All indigenous species are protected, so you can't catch em or keep em

Although, there could be more poecilotheria with the tarantula hobbyists in Europe than there are in the wild in India.

Especially the poecilotheria metallica and poecilotheria regalis
