wow she grew

May I just say that I usually hate spiders and they usually scare me half to death and such but yours is just ABSOLUTELY FREAKING ADORABLE FOR SOME REASON.

It's because she's all like "I curl my legs, I'm a little hairy ball now, wheeeee"

Hates spiders: but tamed spiders...tats a different story.

What kinda spider are they?

Its one spider its a picture of it growing up. lol Its a tarantula but I can't tell what species myself..;o;

I said they because I did not know the gender of said spider.

She is a Salmon pink birdeater: Lasiodora parahybana

Nice, guessing by its name it's a very powerful species.

Aii! >w<
I have a Lasiodora Parahybana too! I#m gonna upload a picture of her.

Wow, I've never seen a sling look so mature at such a small size before. She's beautiful!

Yeah! She's gotten so big so fast, shed like 4 times since I got her x3

I've always wanted one! xD But my mom and dad said no. ._. Then anyone else I would ask if I was living with them.

Fuck

I'm so jealous of your blood pressure hahahah

I've got a super metabolism so less I fast for like 3 days my blood pressure is fwoomp, and i am super hot and stuffy all the time, and my veins bulge out of the back of my hands, making me feel really squeemish. I get weak when I think of myself bleeding. Once I -am- bleeding its no problem, I take care of it, but just seeing "oh god I'd start squirting" or something makes me so uncomfortable haha with how the hand veiny thing happens


ps cute spider

Haha, all that from a wrist picture?

You have no idea how much I envy your flat, not veiny hands y_y

whenever i see mine i get all sqeemish ;-;

That's freakin' awesome. :D I like looking at spiders, but they become enemies when they pierce my personal bubble.

Cute! It is amazing how fast they grow up! I have a red knee myself but she is a slow grow, it takes a little bit for her to molt now after her first 5. Bird eaters are awesome spiders as well! They get so big and yet are one of the most gentle of the tarantula family.

I love spiders ;o;! She is gorgeous! <3

My goodness she's so small in the top photo!

Cute~!

I CANNOT HANDLE THIS. Spiders, slkdhlskjd

But yes, cool to see it grown so much. lul. >>

You are my new hero. Just looking at the picture and I sweat

They grow up so fast, don't they? *sniffle*

OH GOD ALL OF MY NOPE

EEEK! Your "baby" can stay as far away as possible from me....

Your cute li'l baby's all grown up now. ;~;

nice. so how much bigger would a salmon birdeater get anyway?

She will get to be about this big: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i.....s/fdaf926b.jpg

ah ok so not Goliath Birdeater big but not far off it

And now I adore you even more <3 I can't wait to get a tarantula of my own. I just need to decide how to house it since they need warmth whereas I prefer it to be about seventy degrees in my house >_>

I keep her snuggled up to my computer. I have a compact tower, so it runs a little warm. :0

Ahem..... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! But just out of curiosity, why a spider?

--JuV<3

I've always likes them :)

...How does that not scare you? I mean...I was almost killed by a black widow...so I'm a little...shall we say 'Apprehensive' around spiders...
What kind of spider is she? Cause she looks like a tiny thing when you first had her. Now...she's lookin like a Tarantula

Tarantula's aren't very poisonous. Whenever she takes off super fast it still kinda scares me, both because I don't want to piss her off and I don't want her to fall and get hurt. She's a salmon pink bird eater, btw. They're considered really docile and they typically do not bite. They're like owning a small pit bull. Yes, they can bite and the bite is painful, but it's pretty rare. She hasn't really shown any signs of hostility, but usually if a tarantula is feeling particularly hostile or defensive, they lift up their front set of legs and their pedipalps so they can strike. Before they do that, they will usually lift up they abdomen and brush their back legs on it, which removes the little irritating hairs to sling at whatever they think is the threat.

I see. Well, I thank you, for answering my curiosity. I suppose our past interactions shape our current view. I doubt I'll ever be comfortable around Spiders...though, Scorpions don't bother me, overly. Still, I salute your courage. And I hope she lives for a while and provides you a happy time.

And now for a completely inappropriate response to her species name: BIRD EATING SPIDER?! Dear gods what's next? The Horse nomming nightmare? *shudder*
Wait...if her bite isn't poisonous....how would she be able to eat a bird? Ambush the chicks?

She probably would kill them with her inch long mandibles.

Sorry for budding in, but I find this fascinating and educational. I'm curious if she enjoys being handled or if there ways you can tell?

Sometimes she just pops right out of the cage and onto my hand. other times when I'm trying to nudge her onto my hand, she just tightens her legs against her body, and makes a noticeable pause before stepping onto my hand, or just runs around on the acrylic casing because she can tell the difference between hand and safe acrylic housing. She's never reared on me though, so I'm guessing that the handling I do with her makes her feel less threatened.

...holy cow that first picture is so cute. Excuse me while I die. XD

How long have you had her?

Cute but....being a tad arachniphobic....kill it with fire (nothing meant from that though x3) She is cute and I bet you love her to death!

napalm 8l so much napalm needed if that would crawl on me.... yup dun like creepy crawleys ._.
