Tarantula Anyone?

Posted by: Francine  :  Category: Spiders

The Tarantula is becoming increasingly popular in the UK as a pet.  This is mainly due to their quiet nature and their uniqueness.  They need little space and they can be fascinating creatures to keep. 

However if you want a pet that you can handle the tarantula isn’t for you.  This is largely due to the spider getting stressed and the harm that can be done to it rather than the harm the tarantula can do to you!  You’ll find many shapes, sizes and breed available and they have a variety of appearances.  They are usually easy to care for but check out the breed first before buying.  The food and housing requirements will be different depending on the species so make sure you fully understand what is required before you bring one home.

There is an amazing 800 species of this spider all falling under the Theraphosidae family banner.  Depending on species they originate from a varying areas and climates.  Some require arid conditions others tropical or subtropical.  There are two main groups – old world which is those originating from the eastern hemisphere and new world which relates to those from the west.  A popular choice is the Chilean rose which is easy to care for and as the name suggests originally found in Chile.
