I just wish they would hold still for petting...
Thinking everything is a cat again?
@GermanGamer7 , it's not just about tarantulas here. If you look around there's all kinds of pet stuff here. Someone even posted wolf spider pics, my dude. Besides mods keep everything sorted up pretty well. @Enn49 is like our tarantula mom too, she won't let us be eaten.

unlike the Male regal jumping spider I tried to pair my female with! He became lunch and didn't even manage to get his 8 legs over beforehand. RIP little man. On the plus side, the female won't need feeding for a week or so.

sort of mine. I bumped into someone in my local pet shop and we got talking. She had a jumping spider that she showed me a pic of. I told her it was Male and that the best thing for him was to find a lady. She dropped him at mine, as well as buying some spiders from me, so I discounted the cost. Turns out my female didn't fancy him at all.....except for lunch! Shame as she has already produced a sac.

She may produce another sac without mating again, don't forget mine produced 3 sacs :D
