The Ultimate Tarantula!!!!

YES!!!, YES!!!, YES!!!

I'm REALLY excited about the newest member of my "ZOO"!


This Ladies and Gentlemen is, (Drum roll please!)
The Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula! It is "THE" largest Tarantula species in the world!

They grow to 12 inches or 30 centemeters!

Here's a pic of a larger one I found on the net.


I saw this animal on one of Nigel Marvin's shows one time. I never thought I'd see one for sale!

I feel like a kid with a new bicycle!

Re: The Ultimate Tarantula!!!!

You can see My pics in the gallery. For some reason it didn't take when I tried to copy them to this post. I don't know what the problem is. I seem to have alot of problems with posting pics. half my gallery is just black squares.

Re: The Ultimate Tarantula!!!!

Yeah, I searched and searched for a good pic of a good pic of a mature animal (12 inches), But all the pic's I could find had no references in the pic to compare size.
But "They" say their leg span as an adult is as big as a dinner plate!
