Is the tarantula really the largest spider?
Nope----Bird-eating Spider. --------------------------- The Goliath is the Birdeater you dumba** lol.
Yes, but spider excrement is in small, hard-to-see specks, sometimes rubbed on a surface.
Spiders do not 'give birth' they lay eggs ! The spider spins a cocoon from the silk it produces from the spinnerets - where it deposits the eggs, which are left to hatch on their own. Some species of spider will actively 'guard' their eggs from predators.
How long will a rose hair tarantula live?
The males of this species live about 4 or 5 years. The females however, can easily live to be between 15 - 20 years old.
Areas of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah,New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South and North Carolina, basically any places that are warm, Subtropical or Tropical year round except states like Ohio and Illinois and east of these. I know because I am from Illinois we dont have any big tarantulas they would die in our extreme cold. So Southwest!
These are arachnids. They are a large spider.Tarantulas are slow and deliberate movers, but accomplished nocturnal predators. Insects are their main prey, but they also target bigger game, including frogs, toads, and mice. The South American bird-eating spider, as it name suggests, is even able to prey upon small birds. They have a venom but it is not harmful to humans, it is much like a bee sting.
How does a tarantula get its food?
Tarantulas have a wide variety of methods for obtaining their food. There are trapdoor tarantulas that build web traps and wait for prey. Others pounce on their prey.
How long does a tarantula hawk live?
First, an adult Tarantula Hawk will go hunting for a Tarantula in it's burrow.
Once it finds the burrow, it will drag the Tarantula out of it's burrow and inject a paralyzing venom into it. When the Tarantula is paralyzed, it will be taken into burrow made by the wasp and a single egg will be laid on the Tarantula. The wasp will leave. When the egg hatches, the larvae will feed on the living Tarantula. The larvae will eventually enter the inside of the Tarantula, consuming it from the inside out. While it does this, it has to avoid any major organs in the Tarantula so that it's food doesn't die. The Tarantula Hawk will become an adult (after the pupa stage) and leave. That is the cycle for the Tarantula Hawk.
Arachnids do not have backbones, meaning they are invertebrates.
How do tarantulas adapt to the rainforest?
Some species of tarantulas, called terrestrial tarantulas, make burrows by digging down into the earth. These spiders must be able to select places for their burrows that will avoid their being flooded.
Other species of tarantulas are arboreal, i.e., they live in bushes and trees. They make silken shelters for themselves that look like silken socks and are open at the bottom. These shelters shed water very well, so their makers are protected from rain storms as well as predators. These spiders are very good at sucking water off vertical surfaces such as the leaves of trees, so after a rain they can get water to drink without having to descend to the ground to find a puddle or a pool.
Since they mostly eat flying insects, arboreal tarantulas have to be good at hanging on with their rear four feet and reaching out with their front four legs to capture moths and other flying creatures. They are also fairly adept at jumping from one branch to another that is close by. They have evolved to have a lighter body structure than the terrestrial tarantulas, so they can climb more easily and can survive greater falls than the terrestrial kind.
How can you tell the difference between a female or male tarantula?
In most cases it is impossible to sex a tarantula externally. One waits until molt, and the shed exoskeleton (molt) can be examined. Only the Mature male of some species can be identified visually by the presence of mating hooks on the first pair of legs after the ultimate (final) molt.
yes,spiders can get ill and die like us human cause its a living thing too yes,spiders can get ill and die like us human cause its a living thing too yes,spiders can get ill and die like us human cause its a living thing too

People would buy a pet tarantula just for the fun of it. It's like, why would you buy a dog? Because they are sweet and good companions. Why would you buy a tarantula? Because they could be entertaining to watch! Like buying a fish! Fish don't do anything! They are just fun to look at!
If you really were asking why people ought to buy tarantulas, then there are two kinds of answers:
(1) If you went out and caught your own you might capture one that is an endangered species. If you were outside of the U.S. then when you tried to bring it home with you it might get quarantined or you might get put in jail for having an endangered species in captivity. Even if it were not a member of an endagered species, it might be some kind of tarantula that just doesn't tolerate captivity well, or one that has the kind of venom that can put you to bed for a week. Either you, the tarantula, or even both of you could get hurt.
(2) If you buy a tarantula from a reputable dealer, you will get one that is healthy, that is the result of a captive breeding program, that probably is disease free and otherwise healthy, that is identified correctly as to genus and species, and that comes with care instructions that will let you give your new pet a good home. Nobody will be likely to get hurt.
ALL spiders are venomous ! However - most spider venom is not powerful enough to cause harm to humans. Remember - the venom usually only needs to be strong enough to immobilise insects (their natural prey). There are some spider species (such as the black widow) - that possess venom strong enough to cause human fatalities.
Can the female Tarantula harmless to human?
Female Tarantulas are completely harmless to humans, in fact quite friendly to humans. They bite the male tarantulas harshly and their bite causes the male to suffer. Males are harmless to humans also.
