Re: White Kneed Tarantula

Hey, I loved my Clilean when I first got it. It is very docile! You can let it walk around on you. You don't have to worry if it is going to sink it's fangs into you when you open the cage. It did eat (Slurp) a pinkie once.
All spiders inject a venom into its meal. They don't have a mouth to chew its food. The venom breaks down just about everything inside into a protein soup that the spider sucks up.
I fed the Chilean a pinky and all that was left was a membrane of skin that was carefully folded up then discarded.
They are the "Perfect" starter T. Children can hold them. They are excellent for educational purposes. People can OOH and AAWWW at them with safety. exept when they fling their hairs at you (Urticulating Hairs, Is that the term?), It's like bumbing your arm against a small cactus.
The white knee is more agressive toward humans and gets a lot bigger. They have a more observable behavior. But I'm not going to be handling it. At least not without gloves.

I don't have any pic's yet. Right now it is less than two inches. not even 25% of it's mature size. I would need a good camera with a "Macro" lens to get a good shot.
