Do tarantula's have a backbone?
No. They are invertebrates (no-backbone creatures) and they have an exoskeleton, which is an outer shell that is rigid enough to hold all the inner parts in their proper places. They have no bones.
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.
I believe a Turantula has 8 legs, just like all other spiders. Unless they lose a leg.
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
Do pink toe tarantulas hibernate?
Pink Zebra Beauty Tarantula same with other tarantula moult or molt. Moult or molt is also known as sloughing, shedding, ecdysis in which an animal routinely casts off a part of its body such as skin.
Do tarantulas communicate with each other?
All insects have their way in communicating. Some communicate with their mating calls/dances.

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.
