Aw, that is so sweet of you to try to keep her!

[martianmoons]

I hope she thinks so, too! If she does not take well to captivity I will let her go. But hopefully she will do OK! Thanks! :)

my skin officially tried to run away screaming, then the rest of me wanted to do the same reading that post. Yeah I hate arachnophobia :(

[martianmoons]

Arachnophobia is a drag, for sure! ;) But education of course is a wonderful thing, perhaps as you get to know them you will probably not get to love them, but perhaps you will be able to tolerate them! ;)

Thank you!

I feed the tarantulas crickets I purchase at my local pet store every week, so will try her on smaller ones and see how that goes! :)

[martianmoons]

Thank you! They are very shy around people, and would run away and hide if you were a few inches away! :)

Congratulations on the T collection, that is great! :) I have 11 now, and that is a good number for me!

Thanks! That sounds like a wonderful tour, I would love it! :D
