Found this little guy cruising across our lawn tonite....first one I've ever seen. I guess I'll be wearing shoes from now on...this is hill country life!
@Love2Run:
We had a Rose Hair tarantula as a pet when I was in junior high. It was red and brown and it was as big as my dad's hand spread out, It was given to me by the school bus driver as her disabled son couldn't no longer care for it. We kept it in a 10 gallon aquarium with a mesh top and kept an encyclopedia on top but that little rascal could still get out of it's cage. I only handled it a few times, kinda freaky. It would spin webs, molt and eat crickets. That sucker lived for about 5 years, it just upped and completely disappeared one day, and to this day nobody in my family talks about "how" it disappeared. 4951
