I'm curious about why you would keep tarantulas. I've been told there are no poisonous ones except in Mexico. Is that true?
Actually, I think they are quite 'furry'. Kinda like an 8 legged cat........  |
Thanks all, for the welcome. I live in north Phoenix, due east from Surprise. I taught fifth and sixth grade until recently (retired) and had snakes and tarantulas in my room. Kids love 'em and the animals help get kids excited about science. Actually, all tarantulas have venom and fangs, but as long the tarantula is not pinned down or you resemble a cricket, they are fairly docile. Especially our native species. John
