How many people have tarantulas? My husband got one a year ago May 30th and now a little over a year later he has 46 tarantulas. Now I have to say that they where not my first choice of pets, heck I think they were probably my second to last, last being a snake(which my son now has). I do have to say that I have come to like them. There are so many different ones out there, but most people think that they are just black or brown. My neighbor who works at a nature center asked us to bring some of our T's for their animal hour. I thought that no one would show up, but I was wrong. They had the most people that they had for a one hour show. We had over 70 people. In August we are doing a show with a natural history museum for two days and we are going to be on TV to promote the event. I think that it is the creepy cool factor that draws people. They still don't want to own them but they come away with a little more knowledge then they had before. I just wanted to share a couple of my favorites. The first picture is a P. scrofa. We have had this sling for a year now. It shows that they start out small, not these jumbo tarantulas. The second one is eating a cricket. The second is of a Mexican Red Knee, She is a nice size. This species was popular in the 1970's movies. If you find one you will know that it is not WC. The last one is a versi. It is my favorite. Right now while it is small it is that color blue, but when it becomes an adult it will turn reddish. That is the last picture although it isn't one of my tarantulas
