Tarantulas

Probably about 1 to 11/2 inches across the legs. It depends on the individual spider - how much it's eaten - how many times it's moulted etc..

Tarantulas live alone. At a VERY young age they live together, and there are some tarantulas that seem to be able to live harmoniously with other tarantulas, BUT NEVER KEEP PET TARANTULAS TOGETHER IN THE SAME CAGE. In most cases, they are guaranteed cannibals.

A tarntula is an incertebrate because it does not actually posess a skeleton - it has a hardened exoskeleton instead.

Probably nothing because you would ordinarily have experienced symptoms that would make you seek medical aid by that time if any infection were going to cause big problems. Just keep an eye on it.

Tarantulas bites are made with fangs that are not very big around. Wounds that are produced by tarantula bites are mechanically similar to getting stuck with a sewing needle or stepping on a thumb tack. The greatest danger of such a bite is that it might introduce tetanus into the body where it could thrive. The reason that rusty nails are dangerous is not because of the rust but because the roughened surface of the nail makes it more likely to carry tetanus along with it. Shiny nails carry less dirt.

A very few kinds of spider bites are suspected of introducing bacteria such as staph and causing necrotic lesions. Tarantula bites have not been implicated in MRSA or other such infections. Tarantulas do not consume dead prey. They eat fresh, clean insects that typically are not carrying any microbes that could infect humans. Tarantulas keep themselves clean.

So, since the bites seal themselves and generally do not carry any microbes that produce diseases in humans, they are not highly likely to carry disease. Since the wounds seal themselves, any treatment that is going to be effective against anything carried into the body by the bite would need to be done quickly. Some disinfectant such as buffered iodine might have the best traits for getting carried as deeply into the wound as possible. Antibiotic salves would tend to seal microbes in, and would have no effect against viral diseases. Soap and water would be better than anything greasy.

No cleaning done to the wound after it stops bleeding on out to three days or later would be likely to make any difference. Any germs are already on the inside where cleaning won't reach them. (If a wound bleeds at all it would be a good thing because that would wash the wound from the inside out.)

If any harm, beyond envenomation, were to result from the bite, it would probably show up with the same symptoms that an infected needle or nail bite would produce. It would probably produce symptoms such as turning red, feeling warmer than nearby unaffected skin, pain, itching, etc. in a matter of hours rather than days. These symptoms would, of course, be similar to reactions to some tarantula venoms, but venom symptoms should gradually get better. If no signs of infection have been observed after three days, probably nothing will happen. (There are exceptions, as always, so one should be remain alert for signs of trouble.)

Any time a wound shows signs of infection it should be kept under observation. Getting progressively worse should be regarded as a sign that medical treatment may be needed. Salves, creams, etc. applied on the outside generally cannot be trusted to have an effect deep within the wound.

Tarantula's are Spiders, and Spiders are Arachnids. Arachnids have 8 legs, Insects have 6 legs. Spiders have 8 legs so there for a Tarantula is a Spider.

No they are pretty fast and they can jump.

Tarantulas live in burrows they dig.

Tarantulas are not native to Vancouver Island.

Because tarantulas that have hair will be better able to defend themselves

There are many species of tarantula that grow to sizes over a 9 or 10 inch Diagonal Leg Span (DLS). Commonly the L parahybana (Salmon Pink Birdeater) and the T blondi are considered to be the largest. There are recorded T blondi with DLS in excess of 11".

Tarantulas are coldblooded, like any other arthropod.

Mature male tarantulas rarely molt once they reach adulthood, however they do need to molt because they need to shed when the exoskeleton gets darker. They will probably molt once a year or less.

hard to give a specific figure. It depends on the size of the spider and the type of food it's consuming. For example, a tarantula might eat 10 crickets a week, or just two locusts.

Yes: Tarantulas rely on an exoskeleton for muscular support.

For the extra point: The females of this species are known to live 15-20 years, but may live substantially longer!

Hot climates like in the Arizona desert.

no tarantulas are not smart, they don't even have a brain (ahhh poor tarantula!) they have a nerve bundle called a ganglion which works very primitively on stimulus response actions. while they can learn new actions such as tapping the tank it lives each time it's feed it will associate the with food but it doesn't think about it. not acn you train an aggressive tarantula to behave nicely.

Before laying her eggs, the female makes a silk egg capsule to protect them from predators and fluctuating environmental conditions. Any amount from 100 to over 500 eggs are laid in the egg sac, depending on the vitality of the female. Some species of tarantulas leave the egg capsule in their burrow, however other species of tarantula carry the eggs with them. Young spider ling tarantulas hatch about six weeks later, sometimes incubation can take longer.

yes they shed about once every year starting at age three

ANSWER

yes and no. When a tarantula sheds it is considered molting due to the fact that unlike most animals, it sheds an exoskeleton. It takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours for the molting process. Hope This Helped:)
