[QUOTE="ArdorAphonopelma, post: 140615, member: 27701"] Noticed some newbies to the hobby but no posts addressing this so..... [LIST] [*]Tarantulas don't care about you, they care about eating and mating. [*]Tarantulas shouldn't have tanks 10x bigger than them, it'll be hard for them to get their food. [*]Tarantulas do not need exercise, don't feed them for a week and they'll lose the weight. [*]Tarantulas can not be tamed. [*]If you want love and affection then get one of [URL='https://pethelpful.com/misc/Which-Pets-Are-The-Most-Affectionate']These[/URL] [*]Tarantulas,like most inverts, can die for no reason. [*]Take advice from experienced keepers, Care Guides,Pet stores,and Your emotions are not reliable sources. [*]Just cause someone has a calm OBT(exaggeration) doesn't mean your OBT will be calm. [*]Your Tarantula does not need sponges or stones in their water. [*]Just because someone sells tarantulas doesn't really mean they know about them, I won't name names but I'm 100% throwing shade at someone. [*]People doing cool thing with their tarantula doesn't mean the T appreciates it. [*]a docile Tarantula's can't say "Hey I want to be left alone", docile tarantula's will very,very rarely throw a threat posture or hairs. [*]It's okay to take funny/fun picture of your T but remember, If you don't like having a camera flash in your face all the time, don't do it to your T. [/LIST] [B][I][U][SIZE=7]Tarantula are Ornamental Animals[/SIZE][/U][/I][/B], not 8-legged cats, they are meant to be observed not played with. [B]TLDR: Tarantulas don't have emotions, A tarantula that is staying still is a tarantula that thinks it's about to get eaten. Calm ≠ Likes something.[/B] Here's the very first picture of Nurmi.[ATTACH=full]33546[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
