People are always asking me why tarantulas? I tell them they are fascinating, so different from us. Or someone will be going on about how nasty/scary a spider is. I try to peek their curiosity with a one-liner, something like this....

Did you know tarantulas don't have eye lids?

Or

Tarantulas are very fragile creatures, a short fall can kill them.

Share your one line facts with me here. Please?

They don't make a noise or mess and don't need taking for walks.

Tarantulas move using blood pressure, much like a hydraulic system.

In order to grow, they have to molt their exoskeletons.

Some tarantulas kick irritating hairs from their abdomens as a defense.

Tarantulas can grow back any missing appendages when they molt.

It is impossible to be allergic to tarantula venom because the venom doesn't have enough protein to cause an allergic reaction.
