I have a pet Chille Rose tarantula, ive had it for about 11 years now! I had Imperial scorpions before that, but they were adults when i got them and only lived a few years.

I would rather have a kitten

Wow,

Woul you up some pics of the enclosures you keep them in?

Malenko · 15 Jan 2009 at 09:48

My Cat eats spiders...

Maybe not these monsters though !!

fiveub · 15 Jan 2009 at 09:56

That is amazing, I would love to see the enclosures too.

PaulStat · 15 Jan 2009 at 09:56

Whilst they're interesting to look at I don't really understand why you'd want these as pets.

Lovely looking creatures though

Surely you just answered your own question?

Always been fascinated by spiders but have a complete phobia of them too. Bit of an odd combo really. Glad I live nowhere near Cannock

bubblebobble · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:10

just out of interest if one of the spiders escaped into the wild woould it beable to survive or are the conditions here to harsh?
Do you have to have any special license to keep such things?

Mark M · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:15

You Sir are wrong in the head!

Seriously though, there is no way I could sleep at night with them in my house!

Helium_Junkie · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:15

NO NO NO ITS NOT RIGHT
:'(

jongeeone · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:16

Must be abit of a handfull looking after and feeding them all?

lofz · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:22

The frog looks cool, not so sure about the spiders they might do bitey.

not really no, it's the same as keeping fish whilst nice to look at they're not about to return the love

bledd · 15 Jan 2009 at 10:49

please set them alight, to keep the balance

Do you have bigger closeups of that Pink Toe? I stole one of the images from the spider thread as my background at work for giggles, but figure an update would be great.
