My gorgeous rose hair Delilah has cured many arachnophobes she is so sweet. A few friends who were curious about t's have been over and helped at feed time. Pirate and ramases are more or less garanteed to eat anything and that is always a crowd pleaser

my eldest son(16) is scared to death of spiders & moths, it's taken a year & now he will look at the tarantulas in the tanks but will not touch them, he still throws a b**** fit if there is a spider in his room though lol

I read somewhere that spiders is the commonest phobia over fifty per cent of people are terrifies of them. I have a phobia of fish instead.

The other one is Chilli rose think that is a young adult? And I keep them in an old cabinet heated by a 60w light bulb (red fire one) keep them nice and warm 75f to 80f. I keep the ts on the top shelf and on the bottom I keep food and bits and bobs. All bedding is coconut fibber I fined this to be cleaner.
