Who would win if a black widow spider fights a tarantula?
It depends on which species of snake are you talking about. If it's is a Cobra, King Cobra and Brown snake, a black widow doesn't stand a chance. Most snakes, however, are not venomous at all.
P.S. A black widow isn't the most venomous spider, there are also the red back spider and funnel-web spider who are much more dangerous.

Does a tarantula spider have more than 2 eyes?
Tarantulas have 8 eyes. A pair of 'main' eyes looks forward. It has 3 more pairs, all smaller than the main pair, spaced around its 'head.' Most tarantulas have pretty much full coverage all around them; some seem to have a small blind spot directly down the back center line. It takes very little movement of the head to cover that spot, when it exists. They have compound eyes, making them very good at detecting motion and using light sources for finding directions (navigating). It seems they have good binocular vision (direct depth perception) in front, quite a bit weaker on the sides and back.

I am not an expert... But I have seen tarantula's in Utah before. Up by the University of Utah. Just in back of the Huntsman Cancer Institute. So I know they do live in Utah.
They sure do. The most common kind is the Aphonopelma iodius . I saw one just today and I'm in Utah.
Spider monkeys forage for food. In some species, there are designated females that leave the main group to find food, and lead the rest to it. Where necessary, the large social groups of 15 to 30 split into smaller groups and spread out to avoid fighting over the same food. Where food is plentiful, they may stay in the same area for months or years. Otherwise they will relocate to be nearer to food sources.
How many teeth does a tarantula have?
Unlike a spider, a tarantula has 10 legs. 8 normal ones and 2 smaller front legs.

believe that scorpions were of the same era as the dinosaurs and that scorpions lived in water because they were not well adapted to land walking (Ove, 2008) There are some fossils discovered that scorpions from 5000 years ago were the same measure as the one's from today. Scorpions can be found in many places of the world like Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, and South America
I have a tarantula now and have owned several through the years. They have fangs in the front and they will rise up on their hind legs to open the fangs and pounce on their prey. They will only "eat" something that is alive. I give mine crickets or sometimes find a baby toad to throw in to her. It is very interesting to watch.
well my Zebra Tarantula sleeps alot during the day and alot at night. My guess is alot of the time. They aren't like humans. They don't really have places to be or things to do so they, in a domesticated environment will probably sleep most of the time. My guess is in the wild they will be more awake as they would have to catch their food, where as mine eats, drinks and sleeps. lol. She's lazy! lol
