A tarantula will eat a snail if it is hungry enough.
Some do, the main one that "hisses" would be the C.Crawshayi (aka King Baboob), they use this as a defense mechanism to ward of anyone, otherwise they will and wont hesitate to lunge and bite the S**T out of you.
LOL hope this helps
Invertebrates have a hard outer shell, called an exoskeleton. Muscles are attached to the inside of the exoskeleton, and contraction of these flexes the joints.
It depends on what animal it is. A jellyfish, for instance, moves by swaying its body back and forth. A caterpillar uses its small legs to move.
I hope this helped... :D
A tarantula can only kill you unless you have an allergic reaction to its venom otherwise, it feels just like a bee sting.
Are tarantulas herbivores omnivores or carnivores?
Tarantulas live on insects, the same as common spiders do.
Do tarantulas eat other tarantulas?
most spiders are cannibalistic. the tarantula does probably eat other spiders for that reason and the tarantula does eat meat as a primary source of nutrients.
Are the Mexican red knee tarantula poisonous?
Yes they do have venom. But it is only deadly to small insects such as crickets and locusts. The venom is to be known as painful as a bee sting, but this can differ depending if you are allergic to the chemical structure of the venom
How long can a female tarantula live in captivity?
My tarantula lived in captivity for about 12-13 years.
Just buried her yesterday. R-I-P Angela.
usually tarantulas fangs are at the front of there teeth like e.g. antennea on scorpions
No, tarantulas do not drink milk. They are carnivorous arachnids that primarily consume insects and other small animals. Tarantulas obtain moisture from their prey and through the environment, rather than from milk or similar liquids. Their feeding habits and digestive systems are adapted to process solid food rather than liquids like milk.
Where does the tarantula have its young and how many?
Not usually. Once the eggs hatch, the spiderlings are completely independent - quickly dispersing in search of their first meal. However - while the eggs are developing, some tarantulas 'stand guard' over the egg-sac to keep it safe from predators.
Yes. They bite whenever they catch something to eat. They bite if they feel they need to protect themselves. Occasionally a tarantula will make a prey mistake and think that a human pinky is a pinky mouse. Occasionally a tarantula will be startled by an incautious human plunging his/her hand into the tarantula's cage, and the tarantula will give a defensive bite. There are some tarantula species that are quite likely to bite human beings, and there are some tarantula species that are extremely unlikely to bite or even to dust you with their "natural itching powder" that grows as spines on their abdomens.
Is the tarantula a omnivore carnivore or herbivore?
Totally not a herbivore its a carnivore they eat all types of animals some even eat others of the same spices :)
What does the red knee tarantulas eat?
Red Knee Tarantula like other tarantula eat insects or feeders. Feeders might be cockroaches or crickets.
Is a tarantula considered an insect?
It is neither. It is a spider. Spiders are not, as some people think, insects. They are arachnids, as are scorpions for example. So a tarantula is an arachnid.
Spiders are active in the early evening building their webs. The reason is because most of their prey are not active at night. They don't want their webs destroyed while building. The web is strongest when completed. They can also build at any other time of the day, depending on how hungry they are.
Spiders are also active in the early morning to migrate and look for new homes. They do so because they are either not catching anything, or their home has become damage, or they feel a predator is near by.

Personal observations
Does a tarantula live on land or water?
All Arachnids are air-breathers. Some have adapted to survive underwater temporarily by using air bubbles. However all arachnids 'live' on land.
How do tarantulas maintain homeostasis?
They absorb heat from their surroundings - enabling them to move about in search of food etc. If they get too cold - they seek out places in direct sunlight, or find shady spots if they're too warm.
What habitat does a tarantula require?
My sister had one of those. She kept hers in a fish aquarium. She laid down some type of small pebbles on the bottom that she bought at a pet store, they are designed for trantula's. She also had a water bowl and a sponge with water on it. For best results, ask someone who works in a pet store.
AnswerIt depends entirely on the species. Some are more comfortable in a dry, desert-like habitat, and others prefer humid rain forest-like habitats. Aboreal species like to have things to climb on, whereas terrestrial species prefer burrows and other dark, cramped hiding places.
JuSt FoR fUn!!!!!!!!!!!!SO PRETTY MUCH JUST TIPE IN IN GOOGLE OR WHAT, "Whats the habitat for a pet (spider name)."

How much does baby tarantulas weigh at birth?
Most baby tarantulas weigh 1.7grams - 2.0grams at birth. Once 2 days old are as big as your fingertip. I hope this information came in handy as I am a biologist and study the area of archnids and other insects. But I came acroos this question I heard on television that I just can't figure out pls help me.Another term for an aurora is the Midnight what? Thanks, hope I am handy for you always, - Biologist Nancy Hugh.
What is the tarantula's defense?
Tarantulas have two main defences. The have a venomous bite with powerful fangs which - although painful, is rarely fatal to humans. They also have irritating hairs on their abdomens - which they can flick towards an attacker. The hairs are extremely fine, and are barbed - making them stick into an attackers skin. They cause irritation and - if aimed at the eyes, can cause temporary (and occasionally permanent) blindness.
How long can a tarantula go without eating?
Mine has lasted two weeks without food.
It is winter now, so I have to be extra vigilant for the bugs I see so I can capture and feed them to my spider whom I named Jeffee.
He seems quite weak, so I must be sure that any longer than this, and he just might die. But to get back on subject, I am guessing two weeks, no more than three.
